Summer is not dead yet.

A good friend of mine Javier Manrique (A Painter who is now the President of Project Artaud) and I recently did a day hike in the Marin Headlands. The conversation covered many topics in which we came to the ultimate conclusion: "What are we waiting for?"... :)

I had walked much of the perimeter of both parks that afternoon and was starting to get a bit tired of lugging all my gear around (Backpack full of Hasselblad gear and a tripod in a sling bag). I took a short rest near this retaining wall and stood there for awhile, staring in this direction. The next thing I knew I was setting up the tripod and viewing the focusing screen and composing. Not sure which I liked better the high-contrast Scala or the lower contrast and glowy Efke IR image.

San Francisco Botanical Garden (Bed 7C).

The star magnolia (Magnolia stellata) is a shrub-like tree that produces fragrant blossoms that last throughout the spring and into the summer. This tree, best suited to U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 4 through 9, is a member of one of the most ancient flowering plant families and features several characteristics that other flowering trees do not.
