Facades of residential buildings along a hilly street in downtown San Francisco.

With all of the landscape and nature photography I’ve posted recently, I figured it was time for something different. This is a street scene in San Francisco I photographed on a quick walk on an early March day in 2010. Many of the other photographs I made in this area included people, but it this one I wanted to isolate the fronts of the buildings, especially the contrast between the relatively fixed-up one on the left and the more weathered one on the right.

It is a rare and special thing to be able to view large collection of a wonderful photographer’s best work. We visited Charlie Cramer’s show at the Center for Photographic Arts again yesterday while visiting Carmel. If you can get to Carmel to see the show, I don’t think you will be disappointed! The show is in it’s last week, so go now…

Desert plants sprout after winter rains and cast shadows across Mesquite Dunes, Death Valley National Park.

As is all too often the case, I’m afraid that I cannot identify these plants! I found them along the fringe of the Mesquite Dunes (a.k.a. “Death Valley Dunes”) near Stovepipe Wells last spring. It had been a wet season and when I arrived there in late March plants were coming up everywhere, often in what seemed like the most unlikely places. This section of what might otherwise seem like barren sand was filled with rows of small plants that were sprouting quickly. The early morning light created an interesting pattern of long shadow.s
