A long walk in the park
Posted on October 3rd, 2004 4 comments
After riding BART into the city, I met my mom for dim sum at Ton Kiang in the Outer Richmond district (right by where Amit used to live). We waited for about 30 mins and then it was time to get down to business. That place is great, even if the service was slow.
After that we went to the old Sutro Baths, where I took a few pictures. We parted ways at the windmill near the beach, and I proceeded to walk the entire park (minus the panhandle), ending up in Cole Valley, where I took the “N” back to the BART station. I figure it was a 4-5 mile walk since I sort of wandered around instead of taking the most direct route. I’m not sure why I wanted to do this… I guess I was looking for some inspiration, though I’m not sure what for, exactly. Maybe it was artistic inspiration (which is why I brought a camera) or personal inspiration (being that I’m frustrated with some things these days) — who knows? I don’t think my walk had the desired effect… but it was nice to get out anyway.

This one was a common sample photo on my DCRP site… not anymore.
Dunno what the deal with this is

Fun with depth-of-field

I always love looking at your pictures. I was just thinking last night that I need to get out and walk around (for exercise) and take pictures (for practice) but Houston doesn’t have any places where I could walk that long and see such beautiful things. At least I don’t think it does. Maybe I’ll discover some hidden treasure.

Laanba:
Houston doesn’t, but Galveston does. You should head out there for Dickens On The Strand first week in Dec. Or better yet, the Rennisance Fest in Magnolia. It’s should be starting this weekend or next weekend, and continues until the second week in November. (OMG, I sound like a travel agent!)
Jeff:
Your pics are always gorgeous and seemingly well inspired. I love the waterfall and the changing leaves. -

Jeff, what about the Cliff House? I was there last year, but the place was under a big rehab, and their website doesn’t have any pictures of the new look…

The Cliff House is done and looks great! Didn’t go inside though.
