Our trip to California was pretty quick, but we crammed a lot into those few days. While in San Francisco I snagged a couple of candid shots of people going about their daily business while eating at a delightful hole-in-the-wall cafe on Ocean Ave. The staff was very friendly.
I think I will enjoy street photography, but I can see it taking a lot of practice. It takes good timing and awareness to capture something interesting, while also being discrete. Black and white seems like a good way to go.
We made an obligatory drive across the Golden Gate Bridge. The fog and clouds were constantly changing how much of the bridge we could see, which set an interesting mood.
This was a different bridge. The bridges there are quite spectacular! I could have spent some time photographing them, but mostly had to settle for snapping pics out of a moving car while Carol drove.

I liked the wall of the bridge with the rivets. I think it makes a good base for the skyline. (again from a moving car so it's not super crisp)
