FIND 52PHOTOS2012 HERE!

Welcome to 52Photos, a year in images 2011. 52Photos started in January of 2010 as an effort to capture 2010, one week at a time, through the eye of a camera lens. I've enjoyed the process immensely, and have been thankful for all the amazing feedback I've gotten as a response to my images, stories, and thoughts throughout the year. I'll be continuing with the blog through 2011 with a slightly new look, but still providing 52 images and some thoughts to go along with them. Technical to abstract, social commentary and just plain fun, you'll find a mix of topics, variety of images, and hopefully, something you will enjoy following along. I've had a number of people ask "where can I buy a print??". The answer is an easy one... select images are available by clicking here. Of course you can just send me a message too, I'd love to hear from ya!

Golden Gate

Week 1

Golden Gate
January 3, 2010

I started out 2010's 52 Photos with an image of the San Francisco skyline as shot from Bernal Hill on the south side of the city. I thought it would be fun to again start off the year with a San Francisco scene, and so I give you... the Golden Gate Bridge. Also shot at night, this image was taken from a few steps off of the pathway that runs between Fort Point and up to the bridge itself.

I love the glow that the bridge gets just after sunset, the purplish-blue sky and the Marin Headlands silhouetted in the background. It's a beautiful sight. I can see why this vantage point has been used to photograph the bridge so often, it truly is breathtaking, an iconic image to say the least.

As I review this and many other images I made in San Francisco last week, I can't help but feel a sense of satisfaction at my growth as a photographer over the last year. Please don't misunderstand me, I am under no delusion that I don't have exponentially more to learn than I have learned thus far. I do, however feel good about the few things I have learned, grateful to those that have taken time to teach me, and excited for what this next year will hold for dgP. 

Enjoy this image, and the many more to come this year! I hope to keep you eagerly following along and engaged each week, and enthusiastically sharing with your friends and family the images and topics you encounter here.

Here's to a great start to 2011!
