Odd. I was staring at this picture–and it’s not that good of a picture mind you–and I noticed that the colors seemed to shift around. Am I just tired or is there something fishy going on here?

This year, my wife gave me a photo outing w/ Aperture Academy. It was informative and somewhat useful, but mostly fun because I kept bumping into random people and taking photos of them. Here’s two people out on their first date overlooking San Francisco and the golden gate bridge. They hadn’t seen each other in years, and I happened to catch them arm in arm at the end of their date as I was packing up my tripod to leave. The shot isn’t the best technical shot ever, but it’s the shot I’ll remember.

Seasons turn; summer arriving. It’s not hot yet, just warm.
