For some reason a lot of the buildings in San Francisco have really eye-catching fire escapes. It might just be because the architecture in general is really interesting.
I suppose it's silly, but while I was on the trip I found myself attempting to emulate some of my favorite painters through my photographs. The weird thing is that it didn't occur to me that I'd done it more than once, and with more than one artist, during the course of the trip. This is the David Hockney photo...for whatever that's worth.
B&w created with Picnik.
Fire escapes in morning sunlight in The Exchange District, one of my favourite parts of town.

I enjoy fire escapes a lot (especially older ones), but I've never seen one like this in Avignon, France.
A Mountain Viscacha escapes the mid-day sun on a rocky outcrop near Las Cuervas, on the road to Lauca National Park, Chile.
At first glance, one might question the Mountain Vizcacha’s heritage – are these mammals part of the Leporidae family (rabbit) or the Chinchillidae family (Chinchilla)? If you guessed the latter, you are correct. With their large ears, powerful hind legs, and small front paws, Vizcachas do share a striking resemblance to the rabbit family. However, their long bushy tail is a distinguishing trait unique to the Chinchillidae family. This tail not only serves as a species indicator, but can also tell us if the animal is feeling anxious or relaxed: The tail is extended when the rodent is distressed and curled when at ease.
The Chinchillidae family resides in areas throughout southern and western South America. The members include the Mountain Vizcacha (Lagidium viscacia), Plains Vizcacha (Lagostomus maximus), Northern Vizcacha (Lagidium peruanum), Wolffsohn’s Viszacha (Lagidium wolffsohni) and the familiar Chinchilla (Chinchilla lanigera). However, the Mountain Vizcacha is the only member that calls the future Patagonia National Park home, where they live among rocky outcroppings and boulders. It is quite unusual for a rodent to stray from underground burrows, but the Vizcacha has learned to transcend its inferior digging abilities and take advantage of its expert climbing skills. The Vizcacha can jump from rock to rock with such ease and speed, it’s hard for the eye to follow.
Mountain Vizcachas live in colonies that range from a few individuals to hundreds. To keep up with the colony chatter, they have acquired an impressive repertoire of vocalizations that are used in social interactions. Mountain Vizcachas are small mammals, but these vocalizations resonate with plenty of strength; it’s no wonder they are known for their gregarious behavior.
Photo taken about 2km northwest of Las Cuevas, on the way to Lake Changara, Chile.
My principles were line and balance. I used a line element to underline and accent the title. I made this into a barbed wire because barbed wire is an ever-present obstacle in the film. It is also symbolic of the movie's theme. I also constructed a guard tower than has many line elements. Much like the wire, the sentinel is both a literal and metaphorical element in the film. The font I used for the title is called Canter. It has a low x-height which I found to look a little more vintage and historical, while the minimalist flat white lettering is something seen more in contemporary design, bringing modern appeal to a historical film. I used a thick stroke weight on the letters and left the interior fill of the letterforms transparent, creating extra lines within the letterforms. The outline effect is reminiscent of tunnels.
I centered all the elements on the page in order to create a sturdy balanced composition. I chose a quote from the movie that was both dramatic and explanatory of the movie's plot, which is the true story of P.O.W.s trying to escape from a camp in rural Germany. The dark blue color is a prominent hue of the film, seen on uniforms, trains, automobiles, etc. I also overlaid a paper texture because the film is relatively old (1963) and is telling an even older story from WWII. I thought the paper texture evokes a worn feeling of antiquity and history.

This is a 5 exposure HDR taken in very cold and windy conditions. Ambient air temperature was in the minus mid thirties Celsius, and the wind didn't help. Photo shows my trusty Ford Escape parked just off the Chadburn Lake Road. In the background, one can just make out a sundog in the sky. These are cold weather rainbows formed when light is refracted by tiny ice crystals in the air.
Escape the Rain
Plastic roses cling
To the windows of a small cafe,
While on the street
Sugary hearts melt in the rain,
Making streams of pastel
Run across the black.
You sit behind those
Transparent roses
Watching the hearts
Being stepped on
By people trying,
Trying to escape the rain.
Whose hearts are they?
No one knows.
Some angel must've lost them.
Bound hand and foot,
Their wings refusing to spread.
Laying in the pale rivers
Black ribbons criss-crossing
Wings stained with blood.
Bite back your tears
And finish what you've done.
The clink of change falling
Into the jar
And the doorbell's noise
Echo in your mind
As you leave for home.

I've been working at my other half's office every weekend for the last month or two and I'd like to escape. I'd like to finish that coffee, pick up the car key and gedouttahere!
I have always loved the old fire escape on the Lawrence Hotel. I had to get a couple looking up shots of it.

Do you ever wish you could just run away, not from home, but from reality? That's how I have been feeling lately, I just want to escape.
A minimalist fire escape provides only a platform to step out of the building and a metal ladder leading downward. St. Joseph, Missouri.

A few photos taken in Historic Sykesville Maryland (which is pretty much two streets wide.)
Rolleiflex T, Tessar 75/3.5 lens. I shot this roll using the Masking Set 16 adapter, which gives 16 rectangular 6x4.5 exposures instead of the usual 6x6 square format.
