The End of Covid .... well sorta

 Well the Covid restrictions are dying down here in the US at least. And as such I'm out and about photographing again. 

Here are a few photos from my latest foray out and about in Silicon Valley:

 

Here's a then and now shot: the Uber self driving "garage" in SF was taken in 2016, the Google "garage" in 2021. Both photos were taken just a few feet apart from one another. My suspicion is that Google bought out the Uber location and knocked out the walls.

Some other self driving car observations:

The Italian Cemetery

For the moment, I'm living in Redwood City. One of my favorite motifs is cemeteries, and I'm not far from where most of San Francisco buries their dead: Colma. Follow the link by clicking on the sample photo below if you want to see more.

2022-01-16 Memories of Another Country That is No More

 I've been working on another way to digitize my old negatives. 20 years ago, I was using a Nikon Coolscan. Looking at those files now, they're ok I guess. Better than nothing. I have an Epson V750, but especially for 35mm, those scans suck. I have access to a drum scanner, but those scans take so much time and work. In any case, I've come up with a method that I'm happy with. This isn't my technical blog, so I'm just gonna show you a few images from Czechoslovakia. Now that country was separated in the "velvet divorce," one of the few country split ups that was peaceful and civil. Back in 1991 when I first visited, Czechoslovakia had recently moved from a planned "socialist" economy towards a western style more capitalist democracy. Prague was a gritty, gray, yet beautiful city mostly visited only by foreigners from the East Block.  Czech out the gallery (isn't that punny?!) here .
