From New York City to the Golden Gate,

And it don’t look like I’ll ever stop my wandering.”

    It is not just that you are a brilliant photographer, which you clearly are, it is also that you SEE much more than most people do.

      Cindy, This made my day. That’s what I hope when I click the shutter, that, as Berenice Abbott says, “that it will help people to see”. Thank you so much and I appreciate you following my work.

    Love the Golden Gate Bridge! Reminds me of my college days up north :)like that orange glow you got going on and the peers on piers is fantastic shot! I l feel like I wanna surf looking at that pic ha! But that quote you got at the end, that one one is SO GOOD! I was high-fiving the air on that one 🙂

        I fell in to photography a few months ago and found finding my first camera a minefield. The choices available is overwhelming!

        I ended up buying a Sony A6600 and have falling in love with photography. I also find it perfect for mental health.

    A stunning and poignant look at San Francisco, Jane, and so very much appreciated. Your eye and photographic skills are a pure pleasure to behold. I enjoyed every one of these photos, some for the uniqueness, and all for the composition. I really liked the GGB reflection (2) and the street lights with the GGB (3). Your Presidio Red was also fun, because that color is so prevalent in the Presidio area. Also enjoyed the quotes. My favorite photo, that knock-your-socks-off masterpiece, was the first one of the Peers and Pier. I hope you are celebrating your mastery today, Jane, because I am.
