No matter how many times I’ve been to a certain city…I always end up wearing a big fat sign across my forehead that says “TOURIST!!!”; (Meaning my Camera is constantly fixed to my eye.) I can’t help it. I have to photograph everything…and it drives my husband crazy. “Pull over here!” “Drive over there.” “This will be my last stop I promise.” A 3 hour drive will take us 5 hours because I have to stop to shoot everything. Often times I get home and view the photos only to hear myself say “I shot it better the last time.” or “that shot didn’t turn out.” But sometimes I get home and I’m super thrilled that I made myself stop to take a photograph…even if it doubled the length of our journey.
Don’t mind the splotches you see in some of the photos. I forgot to bring a sensor cleaning kit for my camera and it got amazingly dirty. I would have stopped to grab one while I was away but I had zero time. We were going going going all the time… Anyway – I took care of a few in photoshop but my eyes are tired and I’m bound to have missed a few.
Anyway…I hope you enjoy a few of these.
In LA all we really did was Disney. I was dying to see the San Juan mission but I decided to save it for my next trip.
Sunset…notice the Seals on the beach in front of me. Man they were STINKY!!
San Fransisco Bay – Fishermans Warf where we stayed.
…and again…
and again…Man I really love the Bay Area.
