California Trip: October 2013
Here are just a few of the highlights from my two days I spent in the city. My main goal for those days was to enjoy some of the areas I used to love to hang out in, when I lived in the Bay Area, and to visit with my old friends.
These images are more "snapshots" than photographic works, as I didn't make my friends stand around waiting for me to be creative. All are hand-held.
There are links to more information in some of the photo captions.
