escapewindow | i need to get out more

I took a photo walk today.

It was the clouds that did it. The view, from the Bay Bridge, of the city enshrouded in fast-moving fog. I need to take my camera to Treasure Island one of these days to get a better shot.

The first thing I noticed, as I began walking, was an overwhelming hunger. For human flesh. Or any food, really. Something about hermiting myself away makes me forget about meals sometimes... I *think* I ate dinner yesterday, but I forget.

After wolfing down a burrito I wandered back into the ferry building... maybe I'd get some gelato after I warmed up. Maybe some pictures first. A security guard approached and informed me they only allow photos for personal use... meaning I had to have a friend in the shot. Ah well. I'm used to overt discrimination against loners. I walked back out, sans photo, sans gelato.

I took about twenty shots of the sun behind the pyramid and another building, thinking maybe HDR would work well here. Wasn't able to pull it off... but a bird flew right into one of my bracketed shots.

The solitary non-überlens shot in the bunch, for the bokeh.

Obligatory Coit Tower shot.

I was happy to find this place. And kept expecting a security guard to walk out and tell me I couldn't take photos... but no one did.

During most of the walk, I let Full Circle play in my head. Not just the finished first half, but several variations of the unwritten/unrecorded second half as well... modulating into major. I wonder if I can transcribe that into Cubase.
