hola all.
thank you for all the kind words and recent comments upon my return to posting+writing+sharing+blogging. A slow pace, has certainly been a bit smoother than I had initially thought. LC (my beautiful Italian bloggie-friend living in London) told me earlier this month, and I'd like to quote her: "The blogosphere can be a powerful world, through your blog we have to come love you and think of you as a dear friend."
Powerful indeed.
I feel the same way about you. Blog pals, good friends, long time readers – I have had the pleasure to meet many, and even if we have not yet met, it certainly is reciprocal with you all.
The blogesphere has allowed us to share, read and connect with a global community. To feel like we quite know each other and enable us to grasp a level of inspiration, admiration, variation and reflection we all give and take from this, is beautiful.
Enjoy this black+white set of photos.
These were all taken between February-April, in San Francisco.
All photographs are straight the from camera, taken with my Leica lens/Panasonic LX5.

I LOVED that camera. Alas, it was stolen. Bought another, and it was stolen. Bought a Fuji X100, and want the LX5 back.
ReplyDeleteYour photography is wonderful that you might consider changing your byline to Bikes, Art y Coffee. (When have you really written about boys anyway?)
oh wow, well hope your new fuji stays with you for a long time :)

ReplyDeleteStunning photograghs and commentary with heart. Makes me think about taking out the camera here in the east bay!
ReplyDeleteYour blog certainly inspires to cycle and enjoy life. A clip which joyously advocates cycling for all ages, mostly recorded in Amsterdam, “why cycle!: or "go ride a bike” : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ou1AvKDicxA
