The Beauty That Never Gets Old

I have lived in Sonoma County for many years--25 to be exact.  There are many great things about living in California, such as the weather,the close proximity to the ocean, and for a photographer like me the landscape.  Another great thing about where I live is that I am only an hour away from one of the most amazing sites in the world.  Every year millions of people come to San Francisco just to see the GoldenGate Bridge, which I'm sure manywould agree is by far one of the most beautiful sites in the world.  I don't remember the exact time that I first saw this bridge, but to this day anytime I go to the city anddrive out of the "Rainbow Tunnel" (as I call it) it feels like the very first time seeing this magnificent bridge. So it goes without saying that it is probably one my favorite subjects to shoot.  In my album "San Francisco 'In My Eyes' " (seen here) I photograph the city in ways that I feel are different then how it is normally photographed.  I think the Golden Gate Bridge is one of the most photographed subjects in San Francisco, so when I am photographing it I try to do so in ways I think other people haven't thought of.  I want to show off the beauty, size and character that really make it unique.I am also always looking for thepicture that gives me the feeling of seeing it for the first time.  Below are a few photographs that I took coming home from a family portrait shot I did in San Francisco.  If you'd like to see more views of the Golden Gate, be sure to check out this link.
