Photo Therapy Returns

When I made the decision to take a photograph everyday to post on my blog I didn't realize how hard it would be, especially when it won't stop raining. It is a struggle to create each day but I wanted the challenge. I wanted to push myself past my comfort zone. So, after a two week hiatus, I am back with more photos to share. Here goes nothin...

Since Monday was a holiday and the sun was shining, James and I and a few friends went for a 'hike' in San Francisco up to Twin Peaks. We walked through neighborhoods I had never been to and discovered the Rooftop Alternative School. This place looked amazing with gardens everywhere you looked and art all over. I have to learn more about what is happening at this school.

 

After our hike, James and I went to see the photographs on exhibit at Pier 24. This was a really special experience for me because a number of the photographers that I truly admire had photographs in the collections. Alfred Stieglitz, Edward Weston, Diane Arbus, to name a few. The show is comprised of Randi and Bob Fisher's private collection and is free to the public with an appointment. I loved seeing these pieces of art at this gallery. The gallery was not crowded because your time slot is limited to 20 people and I could take pictures of the photographs! I will not be posting any of the photographs because I am not sure if I even legally can but to have some of the most famous images from these photographers is truly exciting. I snapped the above photo after leaving the gallery from the pier. A self-portrait for my collection :-) And another from a sunny day in Berkeley.
