Caliber Photowalk 30.01.10

These are some shots from the January 30th Caliber Photowalk in North Beach and Chinatown.

I took more pictures than I expected, fewer than I ought to’ve, and they’re all pretty much crappier than I’d like. But they’ll do. Here are the first of many. If I used presets to process, they’re in the parentheses. And, yes, it’s kind of sad that I have to include my username in the preset names. Lame.

I think the flag needs some dodging, but I mostly like the image. The title is from the proclamation of independence of the Bear Flag Republic.

I love that Dottie brought a pack film camera to a photowalk. That takes real dedication.

Bleed in your own light. (UTW Siamese Dream)
One of the few of my pictures of the Transamerica Pyramid that I can actually say I really really like looking at. It’s all about the preset though, I think.
