Here’s just a few more from my last trip to San Francisco. One of these days, I’m going to take a photo that’s a real gem. More practice is all I need.
These first couple of photos are from a studio operated by Dr. Andrew Lesko and his wife, whom I met out in front of their new establishment on Clay Street in Chinatown. I was just happening by when he suggested I go in and look at the art, have some tea, use the bathroom, have my back cracked, whatever. He also patiently explained to me the process of creating bronze sculptures starting with the wax molds pictured below. Apparently, Andrew is a sculptor, artist, chiropractor, yoga instructor, and who knows what else. The both of them seemed like very humble, talented, and congenial people.
I wish this next one came out a little better, but I still think it’s keeper. We stumbled into what I think was the St. Francis of Assisi National Shrine, where this woman and her dog were hanging out inside. Yes, my Sigma DP1 is a discreet little camera.
I had to pay fifty cents for the next one, but it was cool looking at the old fortune cookie machinery.
And finally, another that I wish came out a little clearer. I’ll figure out the right settings at some point. It’s not the camera, just me and the learning curve.
