bookended by sophia

I mean, this was a really nice night. Sophia's mom took us out to dinner. We had really nice sushi in downtown Oakland. our uber driver on the way was this old chinese lady, very nice, but strange. so i took pictures out the window. There are wonders everwhere. can I say how much I love this woman, my wife? no, no I cannot. for some reason, this stupid keyboard is hating on my setup again; all the capital letters aren't working. (update: seems like an iSSH bug).

solutions to bad blogging

Man, I just don't know about that last post. I mean, a couple sentences, some photos, that's prety typical. It's sort of weak sauce commentary though, is't it? I mean, I'm all for punk rock disregaurding of the rules, but photos of ships and the bay bridges are not punk rock. They say the solution to bad speech is more speech (I'm already quoting Cory Doctorow, you know how this week is going to go). So, it follows the solution to bad blogging isn't to delete the post, but to do it again, better.

another day another ferry ride

Yeah, I know, by my own cirteria, two of these three picutres are boring. Just goes to show that there aren't any hard and fast rules in photography.

scenery is boring

Don't get me wrong, I love a good lanscape, but they're not alive, you know? OK, plants are alive. But add people, and it's actually looking back at you, or at least could be. My new years resolution: more pictures of people, less pictures of not people (arrived at some weeks late, but whatever). So yeah: believe it or not, these are some of the less twisty parts of the road from Stinson back to civilization. I'd need a wide angle lens and some serious time with the concept of curves to really get it in the frame, if you know what I mean. And that would be boring.
