Summer Day in San Francisco
by admin
Recently I’ve been studying the work of Michael Kenna. He has an exhibit going on in San Francisco and will do a book signing on July 24th. I’m planning on attending, but I figured since I have the time, I might as well get to know him better. I started with his A Twenty Years Retrospective book. A great book – I am planning on reviewing it soon. I will buy few more of his books next month. Kenna has always been one of my favorite photographers, but now even more so that I take the time to study his work and his life in greater detail.
In that spirit, I went back to one of my favorite B&W photos, which sort of resembles Kenna style a little bit. I took this photo at Golden Gate Bridge back in the summer of 2008. I reworked it from an earlier version to match my current vision. I plan on getting out and shooting in the fog a lot more this coming summer. I don’t necessarily want to copy Kenna, but I would like to explore that new world of fog that I really haven’t had a chance to shoot in just yet. Not sure what will come out of it – but I’m excited to try.
