Legible Light

Toby’s Feed Barn, Point Reyes Station

Yah, yah, yah, I know Christmas is over, but I am just getting around to scanning this film.  We drove up to Point Reyes in November for the annual Open Studios. Saw some nice photos, and Christmas trees were already on sale.  Leica M6, Portra NC 160

Through the window – Kezar Pub and Restaurant

Posted in Photos by William Poole on December 28, 2009

The Kezar, a Cole Valley institution, is named after the nearby Kezar Stadium, former home of both the San Francisco 49ers and the Oakland Raiders.  The bar is bathed in natural light from big windows on the north and east.  Taken through the north window on Christmas morning.  Photographer visible in the center of the mirror behind the bar.

Old Glory at Old Navy

Posted in Photos by William Poole on December 27, 2009

Until last week, I had not made a digital image for more than a year, photographing only on film.  But I missed the convenience of digital and recently began carrying a Canon 5D again with a very light and compact 40 mm Voightlander “pancake” lens.  The photo was made on my way to work at the Old Navy flagship (pardon the pun) store on Market Street.  A crop obviously — some photos just want to be square.

Warning! Missing months below

Posted in Photos by William Poole on December 27, 2009

This blog began life as an experiment in the spring and  summer of 2008 over on Google’s blogger platform. My posting slowed down in August and came to a halt when someone close to me suffered an accident that occupied much of my time over several months.

I am now relaunching Legible Light on the WordPress platform.  Posts below this point were ported over from Blogger, which explains the  smaller images sizes.

The above self-portrait with religious statuary was made a few weeks before Christmas with a Leica M6, my walk-around camera for days when my old shoulders are particularly weary.
