So many San Francisco icons in one shot! F-line Muni pulling into the Market Street/Castro stop near the iconic 1960s-style Safeway supermarket. Sutro Tower in the background.

Yes, that's some serious lens flare top right. On the Olympus PEN cameras, the IR filter is also the anti-reflective layer over the sensor, so removing one removes the other.

After almost 18 months in Dublin Ireland, I have moved back to San Francisco, California, USA. I took this shot on my last night in Ireland.

I'm looking for work, something in supply chain, procurement, or ecommerce in California. I now have an MBA degree! Please reach out if you know of any opportunities.

You're beautiful, Dublin! Thank you and goodnight!

I've had the Poolbeg Stacks on retainer for most of my time here in Ireland. A lot of landscape photographers don't realise it, but you can (sometimes) book sessions with great models even if you can't afford their full day rates.

I only get off-peak times; mostly early mornings when the big fashion brands and tourism clients are still asleep. But that means I can get some nice sunrises.

You're beautiful, Ireland. How I shall miss you.

Traffic backs up on those rare occasions when the sun comes out in Dublin. The Irish invariably flock to bridges and lookout points to try to get a photograph. Young children often cry, as they are frightened by the strange, warm object overhead. There is a great deal of blinking.

a color outdoor photograph. the sun sets over a river in a city. on the far bank of the river, a long row of medium-height brick buildings reflect the golden glow of the sunlight. one prominent building in the background has an impressive dome and is surrounded by scaffolding. a large smokestack is visible in the far background. in the middle ground of the photograph, dozens of pedestrians crowd the railing of an intricate wrought-iron bridge to take selfie pictures with the sunset. there are a few birds flying in the blue sky. the clouds are yellow with hints of pink. there are no vehicles in this picture.
