The Difference

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.

The Press


The Press

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.
