I was in San Francisco for a few days last month, and while there started on a project that had been in the back of my mind for a few years: making photos in the Outer Sunset district. I've always liked the Outer Sunset. It has a casual, homey feel, different from some of the better known neighborhoods in the city, which project more hip, upscale and precious vibes (which can also be enjoyable). 

Most of the Outer Sunset photos I made on this trip were shot in the morning, while wandering around this quiet neighborhood on my own. Shooting here was enjoyable and relaxing, and I'm hoping to do more of it in the future.

Made a few years ago, just getting around to posting now. The background photo was shot in Quebec City in 2013. The image in the clouds is a scanograph of a statue in the Art Institute of Chicago.

Pareidolia is interpreting random visual stimulus as recognizable imagery, like seeing Jesus in a tortilla.

Sometimes when I make a piece, I'll keep trying new things, and end up with a few different versions of it. When I do this, I often am not sure which versions I like best, so I keep them all. This is one of those. These were made a couple of months ago, and after sitting on them, I think numbers I and VI are my favorites, but they're all ok.

Made this a couple of months ago. This is one of those pieces where once it was finished, I was unsure about it. I thought it had kind of an '80's look, which isn't what I had in mind. So it sat in my digital files until today, when I looked at it and thought 'hey, it's not so bad'. So here it is. Does it have an 80's feel? Maybe, but the 80's are apparently hot right now (which is both amusing and disconcerting for someone who remembers when the 80's actually occurred), so maybe that's a good thing.

I was walking someplace after a rain shower when the raindrops and reflection of a tree on the hood of a car caught my attention. I snapped a photo with my iPhone, and did post production on my iPad using various apps, mainly Procreate.
