From time to time it comes to you……what have I been doing…..I mean I seem so busy….no time for things that might be fun….you ask people hey you want to do something….lots of times the answer is….sure if I had the time…..Well thanks to 2 friends I was able to experience 2 things that I might have missed…..The first being a phone call from a friend asking me…..so do you know what today is…..and I said ya it’s Monday……and what’s the date…..I said August 29th…..2016…..as I stood there thinking I have got to get back to work……and my mind was a blank space……so he then said well what were you doing 50 years ago today……..feeling a little impatient said really  how do I know …… what I was doing……and then it hit me….OMG  it was August 29, 1966……and a well known band was playing their last concert…..at Candlestick Park…….and I was there……50 years…..how time flies…….so I took the time we went to a party to celebrate this event……I had a good time…….and now the other friend…..well we all know that some fun shows come to the City……and there is one now playing it’s call “Beautiful” it’s the story of the early years of Carol King……but because of that time thing you say….ya I would like to see it…..but you don’t…..well thanks to another friend who pushed me and even went out and got me the ticket…..and so I went to the show……..it was really breathtaking……the show was magic and really hit an emotional note right in my heart……making me remember all the things that were going on…..and all the people that we have lost in the last few years………and for the 2 0r so hours of the show it transported me back in time………and it was good…….so what am I saying…..make the time…..do it today……take a chance…..call an old friend…….but most of all just take the time………It’s a fleeting kind of commodity……never to happen again……….

Hi everyone….the meetup this week is going to cover manual camera settings….along with a few other things…. meetup time is 10:30 to 12:30…….

Just a lazy afternoon walk…….

This is for my friends that like color…..

It was late one day and I missed my train…..so while I was waiting I took out my fuji X 100 T…..  the tunnel was really dark…..so I just turned up my ISO to 12,800 and got this click…. it was hand held….and if you look along the rail….you can see my camera bag….it’s very windy at bart…and I drop the bag…..I looked down and before I could pick it up…..another train came along…..and it was gone……I go through a lot of small camera bags…….
