It’s tulip season. I’m betting you’ve recently been seeing photos posted of huge fields of colorful tulips in the Netherlands. At the end of Golden Gate Park, closest to the ocean, you’ll find two windmills. One is called the "Dutch Windmill" and next to it is the Queen Wilhelmina Tulip Garden. Last weekend I decided to go check it out, since it had been a while. Unfortunately it was crowded because it was such a beautiful day. I was lazy so I just brought my ultra-compact digital camera instead of some film or the DSLR. The tulips were nice but I came across these purple flowers, too. I guess they are Geranium maderense. One of my all time favorite photos I’ve taken was of these flowers when I had no idea what I was doing with my first digital camera. At that moment, by luck, the camera had chosen the perfect settings and created a magical photo. So, when I saw these again, I couldn’t help but make a bunch of new photos. In every photo I’ve taken of these flowers, I think they look surreal.

Sorry for not sharing more photos recently, but I am in a bit of a hole with my photography. Not a creative hole but a backlog hole. With 35mm film the process is different and requires more effort (moving a memory card from my DSLR to the computer is basically no effort). I do, however, have a huge backlog of digital images from last summer. I’m struggling with film because I haven’t determined an optimal workflow yet. Primarily I’ve struggled converting the film negatives into digital form. I tried a macro lens, and, subsequently, a vintage slide/film duplicator attachment on my DSLR, with a light table, but have been dissatisfied because it’s slow and cumbersome, and the resulting images lack sharpness. So, I finally caved and bought a specialized film scanner (it’s a Plustek). Wow! The quality of the scans is exceptional, but it is quite slow to scan/digitize and the files can be quite large. So for my new workflow I adapted the workflow of old film photographers. They would create a sort-of index of the roll of film, called a contact sheet, review and select the best exposures, and then print them in a dark room. Instead, I am going to make a digital contact sheet with my DSLR and light table. Then I’ll review on the computer and select the best ones to scan. After I’ve scanned and processed the negatives in Lightroom (haha!) on the computer, I can share them with all you!

Here are 4 exposures and their digital contact sheet. These were all taken along the Lands End Trail and near its head at the Sutro Baths. Several weekends ago, when the sheltering in place and physical distancing started, I wanted to stretch my legs, so I went to Lands End. Quite a few other people had the same idea, unfortunately. It was near impossible to stay 6 feet away from people a lot of the time. I can understand why they’ve closed off a lot of public spots, now.

Near the north entrance to the Summer Palace in Beijing, China, is this unique little side show. It is Suzhou Street in the Summer Palace. Built as a play area for the Emperors, Empresses and their family, Suzhou Street is modelled after the famous Suzhou city in Jiangsu province of eastern China.
One year ago, I was soaking up some classic Scottish Highland views. We had seen some the day before, but this was a full day in the Highlands. Even though it was my third visit, it was still wonderful and I’d go again in a heartbeat. We drove up to the Isle of Skye, stopping at the Eilean Donan Castle since it is right by the bridge. It was really too quick on Skye, though, with only a stop up in Portree, also serving as our lunch stop (I had spent a long weekend there a couple years prior). We stopped off a few times in the afternoon, as we headed back south, to take in the views. We ended the day in the pretty little town of Oban, which is right on the mainland coast, where we learned some classic Scottish dancing. Actually Oban seemed like it’d be a nice place to spend a few days. Here are three shots from the Scottish Highlands. A landscape from where I can’t remember, low tide at the Portree harbor, and the Eilean Donan Castle.

Although it is not the largest part of the territory of Hong Kong SAR, the island of Hong Kong is the place that many tourists regard as the main event. The parade of buildings that make the Hong Kong skyline has been likened to a glittering bar chart that is made apparent by the presence of Victoria Harbour. To get the best views of Hong Kong leave the island and head for the Kowloon waterfront at the Avenue of Stars. That is where this photograph was taken. The great majority of Hong Kong Island's urban development is densely packed on reclaimed land along the northern shore of the island. This is the place the British colonisers took as their own and so if you are looking for evidence of the territories colonial past, then this is a good place to start.

The Pont des Arts or Passerelle des Arts is a pedestrian bridge in Paris which crosses the Seine River. It links the Institut de France and the central square (cour carrée) of the palais du Louvre, (which had been termed the "Palais des Arts" under the First Empire).
Last new shots with the 2019 copyright watermark… I still don’t really understand why so many people repost photos at the end of the year. Post some new ones! And why repost the selection of photos that humans, or more likely software/computers/bots, clicked the like button the most times? Why not repost YOUR favorite photos you’ve shared? Here are 5 NEW photos for you. 3 from my travels this summer, and 2 from SF. We start off with a classic view of Portree on the Isle of Skye off the western coast of Scotland (I’ve posted similar shots before). Next, a Scottish landscape near the Eilean Donan Castle. Scotland has been my favorite country to visit of all so far (which is why I’ve been there 3 times), mostly because of the beautiful landscapes. Then a photo of sheep that looks like it could be Scotland, but is just across the England border at Hadrian’s Wall. Then a recent shot back in San Francisco of a classic Golden Gate Bridge at golden hour with an interesting framing. Lastly, something out of context for me, is a self-portrait, taken on black and white Kodak Tri-X 35mm film. Film is a new challenge for me, which is why I chose to include this. Hopefully more black and white film in the coming year. Happy new year, y’all!
Quoted from "http://travelguide.all-about-switzerland.info/kreuzlingen_stulrich_abbey_mount_calvary.html"
Located in a side chapel of St. Ulrich abbey, the Mount Calvary scenery is a unique example of Baroque spiritual artwork and local craftmanship. Spirituality in German speaking countries has always had a special affinity to suffering and to the dark aspects of religion, the cross is in the center of spirituality. The difference becomes obvious if you visit churches in France and even more so in Italy. Throughout northern Switzerland and Germany you will find traces of related topics like Dance of Death paintings from the late Middle Ages to the Baroque era. So the Baroque Mount calvary scenery at Kreuzlingen stands in a widespread regional tradition. It's typical for the region, but unique regarding size and quality of the artwork.
Originally the scenery consisted of some 320 figures. In 1963 fire destroyed 44 figures completely, other were severely damaged. During the following decades Hermann Kohler from Kreuzlingen restored many damaged figures and carved some destroyed figures playing a central role in the ensemble from scratch Two badly damaged figures are still being shown to remember the fire.
