This struck me as very funny. I had processed the bottom picture right after my trip to San Francisco for the Bay to Breakers race. The top photo I had forgotten about until I saw it pop up on my screensaver. I thought the two would work well together. These photo were taken about 30 minutes apart and I didn't plan it at all.
These are some tulips I bought for my girlfriend since they are her favorite. I was going to try a 2-flash setup, but my Nikon SB-28 stopped working. Oh well.

This was a shot I took for my motion blur assignment at Cabrillo College. The press was shaking so much that I had to hold down the tripod to minimize blur. The best part of this photo for me is that those are my pages coming off the press.

I took this picture for my photography class. The assignment was to incorporate design elements into the frame; in this case, line and contrast. If not for this assignment, I never would have thought to take such an abstract photo.
By the way, this is the underbelly of the newspaper press. The white is the paper and the dark lines are the metal bars that hold it in place. The horizontal shadows are from the framework on the second story of the press.

Diver Dan takes a few minutes from his fish feeding to check out the strange creatures on the other side of the glass.
The Monterey Bay Aquarium is a very tough place to shoot without a tripod and all that glass make a flash a challenge as well.
Plus, there are all of those cliche opportunities. Do pictures of people taking pictures of cliches make the pictures you took a cliche?
Another photo class picture. This one I knew would be better manipulated in Photoshop than in the darkroom. I lightened the shadows and used curve, graident map and channel mixer adjustment layers to get the sepia look.
I was inside another barn, looking through a window when I took this.

My photography class assignment was depth-of-field this week, so this is what I came up with. I shot it with my black and white film, but decided to grab a color digital shot simply because I thought it might look nice.
There is no post production work on this.

This was actually a test shot of Elyse before we started working. I just wanted to check the exposure. She was bundled up in her leather jacket and I thought the little hint of light hitting it looked kinda cool.
