Jed, Photographer

Possibly the best lunch hour shooting. Jed and I decided to follow

through with our plan of going on a shoot together. Armed with his

new Minolta SRT-102, we ventured to the fort below the Golden Gate

Bridge. We were approached by a National Parks Ranger, as we were

about to start taking pictures of the severe angle of being directly

below the bridge. The Ranger told us that the fort was open, and

that we should go in.

Jed and I were kids in a candy story, and all the candy you could eat

was free. It was just freakin cold and windy! An easy price to pay.

I shot with the Hasselblad, and with only a few shots left in my roll,

I turned the tripod over to Jed.. and when I stood back, I saw the

image that summed up the day. And took it.

I'll get around to posting my images of the day, but this one I just

had to present first. It was Jed, in the moment... alone with his new

33 year old manual SLR.

Hand held, I had to brace against the wall, and get the lens as fast

as possible. I'm very happy with how the DOF turned out. I do wish

there were more detail in the distance, but I feel that it would pull

attention away from Jed.
