shooting on the fly

On my commute I always carry one of my cameras. These photos were taken while commuting, using a variety of my cameras (some old, some new, some shiny and expensive, some cheap and crappy). Be it by bus, train, car or walking along the street, mostly in San Francisco or the East Bay, these are shots taken from the hip, quickly but purposefully composed, or somewhere in between----but all taken on the fly...

More to come.....(sorry)

Due to some log in issues for a spell, and then a busy end of summer, I have not been updating this photo blog as much as I should have been. I have however continued shooting on the commute. So, I'll be playing some catch up now....
