On this day Sang played with his go-bot (not really a go-bot but he got miffed when we called them that so we did) and I took a good shot. It's one of my favorite portraits.Friday, April 30, 2010

One A Day - On This Day in 2006
Orange CA Inside our scanner
On this day in 2006 I felt the need to scan as many of my p0ker chips as I could. I take a poker chip from each casino I play at. It turns a fun hobby into an even more fun hobby. I have chips from 5 different states and many many different casinos. The colors didn't turn out very well in this but I didn't think that I would be posting it on the interwebs for the world to see at the time I did it.

Los Angeles CA Amir Vahedi's
On this day in 2005 I was grabbing up the last few reference shots for our poker game. I was fortunate enough to go to Amir Vadedi's house and meeting with him. He was a very nice man and a solid poker player. Sadly he passed away in January of this year.

On this day I felt the need to take a photo of our cool Tiki Patio that I miss very much. We hosted many BBQs and parties on our patio and we look forward to the day when we can do it again. Who knows? Maybe will invite you to one of our BBQs one day.

On this day Donna was up in San Francisco for her first full weekend. We took a nice long walk and I found this mural and took a photo of it. Since then I have seen this mural in a few publications.

On this day I took a photo of a flower at breakfast on our way to Golden Gate Park. We went not knowing what day it was but when we got there we quickly remembered that 4/20 isn't a good day to be in Golden Gate Park unless you are into smoking green weed.

On this day in 2005 the games were good on Party Poker. It was the middle of the poker boom and no one knew how to play including me. If you know anything about poker your mouth should be watering just looking at this screen shot.

On this day the "Gold Fish Cracker Prop Bet" went off without a hitch. It was an eating contest that seemed to be harder than you think it would be. Gold Fish Crackers don't go down very quickly without a liquid which was not allowed.

On this day Larry (our dog) played Uno with our nephew Josh. Larry was no match for Josh in the best of 3 match and so Josh advanced to the next round and Larry was left with only thoughts of what could have been and that the Uno cards were not completely edible.

On this day Brian and I were driving into work from his place. He was nice enough to let me stay with him for a few weeks while I got settled. This was actually on my way to my 2nd day of work. He thought it would be cool to stop and take a picture and he was right.

On this day in 2008 the 22 Filmore had trouble rounding the corner and took out a light pole. I didn't see it happen but I was able to get a shot of it from the back of my bus as we pulled away pointing and laughing (not really).

On this day I got served and documented the moment. I think someone had a funny streak in them when they programmed this cash register. This was right around the time that this movie was still on people's minds. Thankfully everyone has forgotten about this movie until now. Sorry everyone.....

Look what I saw today!
San Francisco CA My Walk To Work
Today was a bright and sunny day in San Francisco. Even bright sunny spring days can be cold in The City but that's mostly because I am used to Southern California and that's not what this post is about.
As I was walking I noticed the shadows were especially defined due to the clear sky so I decided to focus my camera on them. Usually shadows aren't the main subject of photos but this post is going to change that. On with the photos!
One of the guys at work described the fire hydrant chain as looking like a punk rocker's chain. I though this was a cool concept and it does look like the hydrant is wearing heavy earrings in the shadow.
A very busy photo with many shaddows
I liked the color of the building along with the distorted shadow
This shadow looks like Mother Natures graffiti
I liked this Money Tree
Harsh shadows up above and very soft shadows leading to the 1570
I don't recall what the "anti-shadows" were from but I thought they looked cool cutting through the shadow of the stop sign. Kind of like skid marks.
I take a lot of pictures of the fire and police call boxes but only one so far of just their shadow.
Shadows snaking up steps
This shadow makes it look like you can see the sign being obscured
Tons of texture and shadows
More color along with shadow
What's white and red and shadow all over?
These shadows defy the grid created by all of the other straight lines
Who is that shadowy figure on the steps?
It's me all bundled up
More shadowy goodness
Shadow with bent light creating a prism effect
I pulled back on this one and got a big shadow with it's caster in the foreground
Shadow on a corner
More of those anti-shadows. Looks like 111 to m or 777.
This is the shadowy walk up to my office building.
That's it for now. I hope you enjoyed the shots and thoughts. If not at least know that it made my walk to work that much more fun.

San Francisco CA Fisherman's Warf area
On this day in 2008 I felt like mixing with the tourists. Maybe it was the Disney Cast member still in me trying to get out or maybe it was just temporary insanity that caused me to go down to Fisherman's Warf and Pier 39. Whatever it was, I took a few pictures before the urge to be with tourists passed. I liked this one. It basically says, "we sell so much of this crap that we can't even organize it." Just throw it in the window and watch it fly off the shelves.

Orange CA Our Soon to be rental house
On this day in 2007 we continued to pack up the house and video game room for the big move. We had to cut our stuff down and could only take about 1/5th of it. We sold about 1/4 of our stuff (big stuff that took up a lot of space) and put the rest in storage. It is patiently awaiting our trip back to Southern California sometime in the future.

On this day in 2009 Donna and I wanted to go to a
fancy meal. We went to Harris' Steak House (our 2nd favorite steak place in The City). They have very good aged steaks and great Manhattan cocktails. They also have great desserts as you can see here.

On this day in 2007 we had a going away party with our "dog" friends. We had a nice BBQ and then set the camera on a stack of boxes and took this photo that doesn't have very good composition. It was a nice day and we miss our "dog" friends.
