Pink Tree

I hand held this 1/4 sec. exposure of an old brick building in Pasadena. It took many tries out of many and this is the only one that came out. That’s the price you have to pay for not wanting to use a tripod. BTW, ISO rated at 200.

San Francisco circa 1994

About 18 years ago, I took a trip with my girlfriend (now wife), to San Francisco. I snapped a dozen shots from a roll in my camera, a Minolta Maxxum 9000. That same unfinished roll of film was taken to Las Vegas for some family gathering photos. Then, its final resting place was a cold storage bin in the fridge.  That is until yesterday, when I finally took it to get processed.  Surprisingly, the photos came out, just a bit under exposed. Probably my fault because back then I didn’t really know how to set the camera properly. Though the photos were grainy, some did come out and I had a blast re-living the past. I also realized how much I didn’t know about photography and how much weight I’ve gain since then. A lot has changed but now I know how to use a camera!

Levitated Mass by Michael Heizer

Shot with a Canon 5D MkII, Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L MkII, and a Canon EF 135mm f/2.0L.

But for a brief few hours, a crew of men transporting a ginormic mass of a granite, paused at Pathfinder Road in Rowland Heights, CA en-route to LACMA. It was like a moving museum as this caravan of custom built transporters and its support vehicles meander through cities starting from a San Bernardino quary to Down Town Los Angeles. At first look it seems like a giant food truck with people lining to get the first bite. But notice the big shrink wrapped Hershey’s Kiss-shaped thing in the middle of the red transporter?  You realize that this ain’t no foody attraction. Many smiled into their iPhones to take a portrait beside this inanimate object the size of a small house.
