King Kong

When going past a miniaturised set of King Kong which just had the basic landscape and the boat, I was caught off guard by some of the things that directors choose to do. I never really think about these things in too much detail; my main folly is that I over analyse things and predict what will happen in a plot and ruin in for myself since I don't stop and take time to enjoy it. Nevertheless I really enjoyed taking a great photograph of the miniature island from King Kong (the new version). We weren't going past all that fast but we didn't stop moving either and my digital camera managed to instant focus within an instant and captured it. I was very pleased; the reflection of the window of leaves makes it also look like a double exposure shot on film cameras; very cool indeed.

Fishermans Wharf

Considering we were down at Fishermans' Wharf in San Francisco, I was pleasantly surprised at the amount of colour I could find around me and the contrast. The carousel with the the red topped tip and stripey cover like a circus tent. The bright orange of a crab on a sign as well as the three dimensional statue for a restaurant of a one armed, one eyed pirate frying up a mint coloured fish with a beard. It's always nice to be delighted in places where you expect everything to be boring.

Silhouettic

My favourite photograph I've ever taken just for the way my subject, a friend of mine, didn't seem to notice me take this. I'm not good at taking photographs of people since I'm not too good with them myself but when I can get a decent or good looking photograph of a person I consider it to be a personal triumph for myself.

A View from the Bridge

At the risk of getting sued by Arthur Miller's descendants (I have read his screenplay A View from the Bridge for class during Literature) I create this post under the same title as his opus. Photographs taken while I walked across the Golden Gate Bridge in January 2011, I hope I can return to America again or at least go on holiday and take more photographs next year when I have more money.
