Today I head for Mill Valley, just north of San Francisco for the MV art festival. Its a real treat doing a show close to home…
I bought a new auto digital camera, the Kodak Z1012 - something small that I can take with me everywhere (except the alleys of course, which are reserved for my Hasselblad and Kodak film). It will replace the piece of crap I’d been using. It’s the same size, but is infinitely better, and costs less than my old one HP camera - purchased 6 years ago. It has a Schneider lens (that’s a very good thing), a 10MP chip, a 12X optical zoom, fast response time, and manual over ride .. all good… yay!
But my HP has travelled a lot with me… Here are some shots I took at sunrise in the Central Valley last week.

It’s nice to see a lighter side of your photography, though I will always covet your grittier alley works. I like the electrical towers. They look like giant, enslaved robots lumbering across the scape doing their master’s bidding.
If you’re ever in Atlanta and looking to do a few shots, I highly suggest, though the drug dealers noticed me so I had to leave :), going to google and then to the street view for these two addresses… 518 Whitehall St SW Atlanta and look between the two buildings and… 542 Whitehall St SW Atlanta. this is one of my favorites. You’ve definitely inspired a new, though not as crazy as you :), urban photographer.

Thanks Lance… I was in Atlanta once, and spent the whole night searching for something to shoot. I ended up with nothing. I’ll get in touch next time I’m in the city.
