Hmmm, Guiness & Bloody Mary's AND Mike picks up the tab? I obviously need to make my schedule a little more flexible.

The pint of Beamish was my breakfast, so I was drunk, that's my story.
We stayed away from the Guinness since the waitress said it was really cold.
And Brad, we were going to keep quiet about the lens cap. I loved it when the San Franciscans quipped, "Shall we walk by again?"
The nice thing about rangefinders is the shutter still fires with the lens cap on.

Mike - that's a good story, so you should stick to it.
Now, in regards to lens cap photos, I am without peer in that regard. I just processed a roll without a blank frame. Looking back over my contact sheets, it has been 127 rolls since I can claim that victory.
My 10 yr. old daughter's most repeated phrase is "Dad .... ahem, the lens cap."

>>> Brad, I'm guessing from the board game all of you made it to Portsmouth Square? I smell Chinatown just seeing that.
Yeah, we were walking down Clay St, and I walked up and tool a quick snap at the edge of the square. I could see spending an hour or so there and snagging lots of good stuff...

Nice work, Ed! Great shots! Is that Fremont BART station?

Thanks, Ray. I think it was Fremont, but I switched trains at Bay Fair, so it might have been there. I was pretty tired, don't remember.

Good stuff, Ed. My fave is the BART shot...
BTW, if anyone is looking to shoot in SF in the future, it doesn't take much arm twisting to get me up there...

Brad I really like the photos on your website. Really good stuff there.
I'd be up for a day of shooting in the future as well.

I'll jump on the bandwagon of always being up for a shoot in the city. Sounds like we need to schedule another gathering sometime soon (but not the next two weekends, please, as I already have other commitments).

I'm always up for shooting. However, after watching Brad shoot with his DSLR all day, I think I use my DSLR too much like an RF. So next shoot with Brad, I'm bringing my D200 and a crazy wide AF zoom for some lessons!

Most weekends I'm spending a day working on a jazz/blues music project in SF, but if I get a day off I'd be interested in checking out specific neighborhoods like the Richmond, Haight, Hayes Valley, Mission, Marina, am slightly done with downtown, Union square, Pier area, Soma, Fidi, but will consider anything. Look forward to some get togethers up there, I'm definitely using the DSLR these days but may lug a RF/Nocti or 75'lux around for the occasional "artful" shot...

Would that be the 12-24mm f/4?
I like using my dSLR for SP cuz I can take lots of pix and experiment. And going wide lets you get close and engage. As a bonus, because you're close, it often provokes eye contact - sometimes that helps a pic that otherwise might not be very interesting.

I've had the occasion to shoot with Brad once. It was liberating. Since then, I've been much more comfortable shooting...just shooting and shooting. See a scene, shoot. Anticipate a scene, just get there. It's like I take my wedding photographer mentality (I'm being _paid_ to get the shot, I'm _gonna_ get the shot, even if I gotta lay on the ground or reach around someone's head) and using it "in the wild."
Since my RF's are all older, some with almost unusable RF patches and many all manual with no metter, I do a lot of zone focusing and sunny 11 (I prefer the extra stop of exposure, so I call it that). So that's a lot of just firing from the hip and whatnot (sometimes not literally from the hip). But I never really...freed myself until shooting with brad.
Sounds like I'm turning Brad into some demigod or something..
