Saturday night we met with friends for dinner at one of our favorite sushi places in Half Moon Bay, Sushi Main Street. I had my camera with me so I could capture images of the sunset before going to the restaurant. While walking along the Pacific Coastal Trail, I found this spot with the putting […]
Two weeks ago, I got up early to capture the setting full moon over the Golden Gate Bridge. I arrived in time to get the first light on the San Francisco skyline. The moon was still high in the sky but I got worried about the fog behind the bridge. Sometimes just a little bit […]
The plan for tonight was to capture the rising full moon behind the Bernal Heights Park peak. I arrived a bit early at my planned location to have enough time to find the best composition. Specially for photographs that show a special moon alignment, sometimes it is difficult to find the right spot because there […]
While there was a big fire burning on the other side of San Francisco’s Potrero Hill, I preferred to photograph some of the flowers blooming at the Starr King Open Space (SKOS). For a few days I’d been thinking about capturing them. Today on my way home I passed by the SKOS with its flower […]
Sorry, this is yet another one of these geeky posts talking about the technology behind my website. Now that you have (hopefully) installed GallerySearch on your TTG powered website, it is time to review what your users are searching for and what they are doing afterwards. There are log files in the /search/log directory, but […]
I have been working on this for a while and today I am very happy to officially introduce GallerySearch for CE3. This is a search plugin that can be used with web sites powered by The Turning Gate‘s CE3 Publisher and CE3 Gallery products. Features: Simple installation, no custom coding required! Searches caption, title, […]
Tonight I went to San Francisco’s Embarcadero to take pictures of the moon rising behind the Bay Bridge. As it turned out, the conditions were great to spend a few hours outside and having fun. When I arrived at the waterfront, the moon was already fairly high up in the sky and perfectly positioned for […]
I really got used to the gorgeous weather we had lately and when I ventured out this afternoon, I didn’t check any web cams to see if fog was in the air. Maybe that’s a good thing, otherwise I might have stayed home. Since I wasn’t thinking of fog, my original plan didn’t work. Still, […]
Capitola is a small coastal town east of Santa Cruz, California, at the northern end of the Monterey Bay. Usually if you are on the pacific coast, you see the setting sun over the ocean. But the Capitola beach faces south east and not west. This means sun sets behind you. Lately we have one […]
Due to the lack of snow I spent a day at the beach instead of a day skiing. It is really strange to wear swim trunks in January in Northern California and not to be cold. I enjoyed it, but hopefully I wont get used to this! At sunset I visited Seacliff State Park. They […]
This is the third time after 2011 and 2012 that I compile my favorite images of the year. It all started for me by Jim Goldstein‘s project ‘Your Best Photos From 2011’ where he asked photographers to submit their best photos to his compilation (Thank you, Jim!). I think it is very rewarding to go through […]
Time to put the champagne in the fridge and get ready to welcome 2014! One of my resolutions is to catch up with my increasing long backlog of images. So stay tuned for some more activity on this blog. My next post will be my favorite 10 images of 2013. This is a great exercise […]
As it has been a very long time since my last post so I thought to show you two images from last night. With them I wish you a wonderful holiday season!
I was very excited yesterday to hang my artwork on the walls of Jolt ‘n Bolt café in San Francisco’s Dogpatch neighborhood. This is a place I regularly visit and it will be even better now to have a coffee or a sandwich while looking at my images. Installation was very easy. Jolt ‘n Bolt […]
For a few days, work brought me to Paris. So far the weather was good and today was the first time that I got wet. It seems like I always attract rain while I am here. Tonight after dinner on my way home, I saw beautiful reflections at the recently renovated Place de la République. I […]
