back on the bike a couple of weeks ago after a 4 month hiatus due to health. woah. I lost my bike butt but took this shot of some barren trees at the end of the ride.

remnants from when there used to be a dock here

strange remnants of industry out along the levee and the bike trail

an old dock gate down at Alviso. this is such a beautiful area. i would have liked to have seen it before the bay was drained down here and all the salt ponds created.

Shot some Lomo shots out at Shoreline this past September. The grasses were beginning to turn, the pelicans were still around in large groups. The water is low and the rains are still a few weeks away. I like that the images have a painterly feel to them.

Alviso - the trails run through the marsh and the salt flats. The ride is great - windy and dusty but challenging. The wind makes up for the fact that it is super flat. I like riding out on the levys and feeling like I am taking my bike out into the bay, getting close to the water and the birds. The water is low this time of year and the algae and kelp floats to the top and is luminescent.

i have been dragging my lomo around with me in my bag and in my car for the last couple of months and finished off the latest roll over the fourth weekend. I finally took the pics to be processed and have put together an album.

Lomo images from around town over the last week. Guitars casting shadows on the orange wall, shots from my ride last Sunday at Alviso. Very flat and super windy but interesting topography. Shots from inside a barbecue joint in Campbell. They have pies, cool typography and neon. Finishing the roll out in the backyard with the dogs, trees and the pool.

Just got my photos back from our company holiday party - held at the end of January. I took the Lomo and am pleasantly surprised with most of the images. There are some stripy things going on so the quality isn't that great on the darkest images - but the fact that none of these indoor shots were taken with a flash, leads me to want to explore getting a new one of these cameras. The party was fun and one of the highlights was the Extra Action Marching Band from Oakland. They were cool. They were crazy.

One of the things I have come to love about living here in California, is the fact that in the winter everything turns green. The rains create this intense green on the hills and while the rest of the country is dogged down by snow and the bleakness of brown and bare trees, we are experiencing a touch of spring. Here are some shots, from my last ride out at Coyote Creeek that capture the intense green of the grasses. Can't wait until the orchard trees start their show. (shot with the Lomo)

First shots with the new Lomo that I got off eBay. It seems to be ok - lens and insides are dirty requiring some cleaning out and some of the images have some ghosting issues. I like the way the images look onscreen but was not impressed with Wolf Camera's processing. They tried to correct the images and took out the super saturation that the camera does naturally. These are mostly Maggie, Seymour and the chickens at work.

Just won an auction eBay for one of the real Lomo camera's. Hopefully it is in the condition as advertised. I got it for 1/2 of what Amazon wants. Can't wait to get it and play.
