We are who we choose to be.
We all have an individual sound.
Beats and breaks, all tracked by the decisions we make.
Some of us refuse to see the light.
I open my eyes and see it all.

You don't understand me
But if the feeling was right
You might comprehend me
And why do you feel the need to tease me?
Why don't you turn it around?
It might be easier to please me
And there's always another point of view
A better way to do the things we do
And how can you know me and I know you
If nothing is true?

So once again. I did not edit my trip images. I was (and still overwhelmed) by the response to the San Diego Sunset HDR post. I decided to go out and shoot again.
I do not use photoshop. I honestly hate all adobe products. I have not used it in almost 4 years or so now. Anyways... please enjoy :)
This is Why I Shoot: Golden Gate Bridge.
This is Why I Shoot, seems simple enough but there are so so many reasons why I do what I do. I put myself by the elements to capture images to show the world. From the desert to glaciers I have been in all climates and love it.
San Fran was clear everywhere except the bridge like it was trying to hide under its cloudy cloak. Beams and cables showed themselves beneath the marine layer so I focused around them. Bikers and runners shook their heads at my tshirt and shorts as they seemed to try to escape the chill. I set up my tripod and started smiling. I had no idea why I was smiling and it surely was not because of the 40F degree cold wind or the cars zooming past at 60 mph a foot away from me. I must have been thinking this is why I shoot. I shoot in these strange conditions, typically alone for the hope of getting one amazing capture. Towards the end I couldnt move my hands, I decided it was time to start the walk back to the car.
All in all I do this for you. Yes I love capturing image but more so do I love to share my adventures with you. I hope you enjoy these.
