Again, just trying to catch up. Posts might be frenetic and brief for awhile, not that this will ever be a terribly word-heavy blog. But this is probably the best example of a ‘normal’ week of photography for me so far. No real plan or theme, just driving around from one spot to the next and going for a walk. Usually a slow walk, observing for a moment before snapping anything. Looking at light, what’s going on, backgrounds, potential frames.

50mm, f/1.8
Just a random pickup game at Love Bank park, Cherokee St.

50mm, f/2.8
I visit Cherokee pretty often, and there's something about this particular spot, Don Carlos at the intersection with California, that always draws me in.

50mm, f/2.8
Some people may think this DJ is wearing the jersey of the Anaheim Mighty Ducks. To me, he is wearing the jersey worn briefly by the District 5 Mighty Ducks in the movie "D2: The Mighty Ducks" after they decided to take the ice in a beefed up uniform rather than their Team USA uniform. Those were the days.

50mm, f/1.8
The grounds outside the St. Louis Art Museum.

50mm, f/3.2
A completely random capoeira practice at the Tower Grove Park pavilion. I hadn't looked at an event page to find this, just stopped on by--there is nearly always something going on in this park.

50mm, f/2.2
Now, I was aware there's a Tuesday evening farmer's market at TGP, but I didn't realize there would be free swing lessons this particular Tuesday.

50mm, f/2.2
These two were a pleasure to shoot! They were having a blast, being weird and experimental with swing, didn't at all care what I was doing--in general just made it really easy to work with them as subjects.
