San Francisco …

Back at the Moscone Center, Derry and I picked up our various conference materials, downloaded the show catalog onto our respective iPods to schedule what we’re doing when, talked with various people, had a late lunch, and then ventured out into the City to wander around and take photos.

I love this statue, with its three hands and multiple feet. I took several photos of it. This should work its way into something I do — collaged in, I suspect.

At San Francisco MOMA.

A building on the walk to the Moscone (it’s a mostly gray-sky day).

Closer.


Even with the gray day, there is plenty of color.

We walked to the Ferry Building and took pictures of the Bay Bridge. My favorite was taken across the street, with the bridge in reflection within another reflection of the metal sculpture near the Embarcadero.

Because the weather wasn’t the best, we decided to walk around the Embarcadero.


There are all types of interesting angles, buildings, and lighting nearly everywhere I looked.

The rainy evening continues.

Taken from inside the Embarcadero. Using a long zoom the picture picked up a lot of blue which was fine by me.

I’ve been playing around a lot with this image. I’m hoping it finds its way into a new piece.

There’s a fabulous tiled floor and spiral staircases. I took plenty photos of both, something else that may end up in a quilt or digital art piece of some kind.






We took the cable car back. Look at the steepness of those hills!
Tomorrow is the keynote and the show officially begins!

Wish I was there. You should go by my daughter’s cool little shop called Rare Device. It is on Market St. Her name is Lisa!!

I especially love the down spiral staircase with the red and the green, unexpected color.

Thanks! And me too. I’ve been thinking about how I can incorporate that into a quilt or some other piece of artwork.

Gerrie,
Good to know. What’s the cross street? We’ll try to get there and say HI.

Wonderful pictures, Gloria, certainly taken with an artist’s eye. I particularly like the staircase one, but they are all great!

I love all of your San Francisco pics… the graphic lines and the spiral staircase especially. I am doing a challenge with some other Photoshop Elements users and one of my friends called 365 Photos on 365 Themes. I am trying for edgier photos and more interesting compositions. Check out
my blog
and can’t wait until I get your book!
