Painted Brick Walls

March 29, 2010 G Dan Mitchell Leave a comment

Green and pink painted brick walls in San Francisco, California.

Several things catch my eye about this little scene: the contrast between the sharply defined monochromatic green bricks on the left and the wildly pink and badly painted bricks on the right, the old light fixture with its small shadow, the almost completely black line in the middle of the image where the two buildings don’t quite meet, the sliver of blue sky near the top of this shadowed area, and the very stark and harsh light.

Four Pink Doors, Mission District

March 26, 2010 G Dan Mitchell 6 Comments

Four pink apartment doors with steps and white columns in the Mission District, San Francisco, California.

Walking in an area like the Mission District, I begin to see many things that would otherwise completely escape my notice. Although I’m sure I’ve seen them before, I recently became away of the prevalence of these building entrances with rows of four nearly identical doorways – this must have been some sort of common building design in San Francisco at some point. Here, as is also fairly common, the colors chosen for the paint were a bit unusual.

Winter Sunset Clouds, Pigeon Point

January 26, 2010 G Dan Mitchell Leave a comment

Winter sunset clouds at over offshore rocks and surf along the Pacific Coast at Pigeon Point, California.

I admit to still being a sucker for good sunset clouds. So, after I finished making a few photographs of the iconic Pigeon Point Lighthouse along the California coast highway between San Francisco and Santa Cruz I decided to simply point the camera out towards an interesting off-shore rock formation, include a bit of ocean, surf, and horizon at the bottom of the page, and shoot the sunset color in the clouds and sky.

Front Porch with Flower Pots

January 14, 2010 G Dan Mitchell Leave a comment

The front porch of an old suburban home with a row of flower pots and a garden hose.

Switching gears more than a bit from the recent Big Sur photographs, here comes a series of urban landscapes shot on a New Years Day walk not far from my home. I shot these in old-school style, wandering around carrying only a full-frame body with a 50mm prime. (OK, I don’t have a Leica, but this comes close enough for me.) I’m not really a big fan of the one-lens approach, but I do find it to be a fun diversion sometimes, partly because it makes me look at photographic subjects a bit differently and partly because it makes for a much smaller and lighter kit.

I’m not quite certain what caught my attention about this house, though several things might have contributed. You cannot see it from the photograph, but this one residence sits on a very busy four-lane thoroughfare among a bunch of businesses – that may have been one thing that drew me to it. The color caught my eye as well, as did the row of flower pots on the porch and the very bright green of the hose. I also like the overall geometry of the scene.
