The cranes on the waterfront in Oakland looked like prehistoric creatures rising up out of the morning clouds and fog. Many of the shots I took in 2004 were in JPEG format. If had known more at the time, I could have captured more detail with a higher quality format. Oh, well.

A Look Back—Boats In Berkeley
A workshop took me to Berkeley in October of 2004. I found these boats after a short early morning walk. This is another shot with the 24-120mm lens. I must have been enthralled by the reflections in the water because I took many, many shots!

Boats–Disabled Boat
I don’t know the story of this boat but it provokes many questions. What happened? Was anyone lost? It speaks to the power and danger of the sea and the courage of those who make their living from it.

Boats–Names
Boat naming began thousands of years ago, probably seeking protection from a god or a saint. Today many boats are named for family members; some express hopes or aspirations. I used a solarization filter to give this boat a vintage nostalgic look.

Boats–Moss Landing Harbor 6
Interesting light as the sun burned away the fog. This light lasted only a few minutes before the fog was gone and the light was harsh and flat.

Boats–Morro Bay
Harsh overhead light doesn’t usually lend itself to interesting photographs, but I liked the drama of Morro Rock in the background. Taken with a wide angle lens, October, 2010.
