It has been a while...

It has been a few weeks since my last post; Time filled with additional visitors, joining a couple soccer leagues, Thanksgiving trip to San Diego, and the usual quality time with my lovely girlfriend.  I have taken to the habit of bringing my camera with me on a daily basis so I can catch any and all spontaneous photo opportunities that present themselves.  Unfortunately, these have been few and far between, but I still think it is a good idea.  Below are some various shots from over the past couple weeks.

There will undoubtedly be an official Holiday addition of Dirty Thirty Photography and I am trying to get Rachel to go with me to the zoo to shoot some animals.  Until then, thank you for stopping by and take care.

Train tunnel in downtown San Jose.

I found this sign interesting and thought it would look great with some extra dark and gritty style.

Disinterested vendor in Union Square.

Holiday Bokeh.

I used a long shutter speed and tripod to get this shot of Rachel in front of the Hayward Bridge just after sunset.

Reflections of power lines.

A preview of Christmas with Rachel and I.  We were going for a vintage, pseudo-hipster, look.  You will also notice that although the picture is meant to be goofy, we are holding some of our favorite things. (Camera for me and tiny Absolute bottle for Rachel).
