Empty playground – States Street
There is something melancholy about an empty playground. This one is tucked into the eastern, sheltered side of Corona Heights Park. The sand play surface and straight-forward steel play structures are considered old fashioned and even dangerous these days, but they create a lovely subdued color palette that seems to fit the mood of the image. Photographed at dusk.
Rear steps – Healdsburg, CA
Spent last weekend in this town in the Sonoma wine country. Many historic homes surrounding downtown. This one was showing some wear–one of the things I like best in a house. Why? If I could tell you that adequately, I might not have photograph them. Used a tilt-shift lens to bring both the tree and the doorway into focus.
Nature outside the window
For fifteen years after we came to San Francisco, we lived in an apartment with a sliding glass door opening from the living room onto a fire escape and large evergreen tree. Ours was a redwood, this is a pine. Still, this scene struck a chord with me. Image made on States Street, one of the many routes I take from my home took the Castro District.
