Scared (me, not him!)

When I'm asked what type of photography I'm into, I say everything except portrait photography. People are way too scary, don't you think :)

Scarred

This gentleman pirate might have seen many seas, and fought many battles.
Were his scars the price to pay for his treasure hunt?

Update 7/10/11: I found out Mr. Patrick Gaul (playing Governor Woodes Rogers, so not a pirate!) was also photographed by Liz Hafalia. You can find the article @ the Chronicle.

Tower

A beautiful blue sky above the Golden Gate Bridge...

Looking together in the same direction...

Gotta love those graffiti artists :)

Lignes de Fuite

This building soaring towards Sydney's sky caught my eye.  But I like its convergence lines even more with a twist, a little saturation, grain, and a wee bit of vignetting.

Easter envy

Do you know the story of the rubber frog who wished to be as delicious as the chocolate bunny^(*)?
Ok, I made this one up. But I needed a photo for Pinhole day and I thought this was funny.
Why don't you see more of the bunny? Chocolate envy got the best of me, and my model's ears got chopped off before the shot...

Plastic & Square: one more winter image

From Yosemite again, here's another example of analog captures with my holga. I really like the square format I can get with the 6x6 mask.
These barren trees where shot in black & white, I just added the split toning in post.
