"Golden Gate Edge II" ~ The Golden Gate Bridge graces the entrance to San Francisco Bay, just beyond the rusty ol' chain at Fort Point.

"Furled Sails" ~ The Golden Gate Bridge meshes perfectly into a landscape filled with docked sailboats and their furled sails. A vintage treatment has been applied to the photograph to focus the eye on the homology of shapes and patterns in the scene while at the same time accentuating the color of the bridge tower.

"Golden Gate Edge" ~ Waves breaking under the Golden Gate Bridge at the shore of Fort Point. Notice that the Art Deco chevrons appear both in the towers and the concrete bases.

"The Rock" ~ During his exploration of the area in 1775, Spaniard Juan Manuel de Ayala named the island "La Isla de los Alcatraces," which translates as "The Island of the Pelicans". The 22-acre island is composed of irregularly stratified sandstone, lending itself to the nickname of "The Rock". The lighthouse was completed in 1854, the first to be built on the Pacific coast. The main cellhouse was completed in 1912 and served as a military prison before becoming a Federal prison in 1934. The most hardened criminals were held at Alcatraz due to its natural isolation, being surrounded by freezing waters and hazardous currents. Mobsters Machine Gun Kelly and Al Capone are perhaps the most notable of all notorious Alcatraz prisoners. The photograph was taken through branches near the Municipal Pier and has been given a dark and gloomy treatment such as to echo the ominous history of "The Rock".

"Vegas Sign No. 27" ~ This variation is composed of an alternating checkered pattern that is inspired by Art Deco. The alternating black and white is classic yet contemporary.

"Charleston, Vertical Sepia #2" ~ Sepia toned vignette of my "Charleston Iron Gate & Porch" photo from my "Charleston in B&W" gallery.

"Charleston, Vertical Sepia No. 2" ~ Sepia toned vignette of my "South Battery Gated Mansion" photo from my "Charleston in B&W" gallery.

"Golden Gate Edge II" ~ The Golden Gate Bridge graces the entrance to San Francisco Bay, just beyond the rusty ol' chain at Fort Point.
