Convertable

This old car whipped around me as I was photographing in San Francisco last week.

I'm working on a new book, but can't divulge the title now.

As far as the picture is concerned, I can't figure out if I like the hazy light that covers the frame.

It was just before dusk when I photographed this car with a strong sun that was setting, sending blazing yellow light everywhere.

During postprocessing, I tried to clear up the haze, but when I did the photography just didn't look right.

So here it is just as I shot it.

Circle of Light

A painter at Palm Springs Village Fest shows his wares while he works. The perspective of this image is deepened by the circle of light that surrounds the artist in ever direction. Think of the image as having, not only as two-dimensional with an x and y axis with the light reaching up and down along y and right and left along x, but also having a z axis which extends up throughout the picture, making it look 3 dimensional.

Just in case you wanted to know, in spite of the rather technical conversation above, the photograph was candid, that is I didn't even think about the dimensions. I just saw good light and then framed and shot it.
