albany bulb
I was in Berkley, California for a hot minute last month (read: 24 hours), just enough time to finish a couple rolls of film with my 6x9 Fuji rangefinder. I spent a chunk of the afternoon north of the city, in Albany, where there is a former construction materials dump turned homeless encampment turned installation space for artists, graffiti and sculptural. Called “The Bulb,” it’s located next to a commercial race track, on the bay itself.

a man and his dog
This was taken looking out from the Albany Bulb. I like how the guy and his dog subtly break up the rocks and textures that otherwise dominate the landscape.

berkeley pier
Unfortunately, the main gain to the pier was closed since—apparently—the whole thing has lost its structural integrity. I couldn't take the photo I wanted, but I think this one captures the expanse of the pier.

the mermaid of albany bulb
The "Albany Bulb" is this weird little park in Albany, California where artists build structures out of debris and other items. This mermaid (I think it's a mermaid) is one of the showcase pieces. I find it vaguely unsettling, but that's just me.

lafayette square
Sometimes I hang around here to take photos and otherwise see what's going on with the tourist crowd. Occasionally, I get a decent shot out of it.

cesar chavez park
I spent a few days in Berkeley, California last month, and had a chance to walk-around and explore the general area. I went over to the pier, where I took some photos and enjoyed the pleasant weather. Here are two shots from Cesar Chavez park.

the neighborhood
I'm running out of stuff to photograph in my neighborhood, but still, I'm trying to capture interesting things when I see them! Here's the latest batch.

baltimore's greenmount cemetery
Not too long ago, a friend and I went over to Baltimore's largest historic cemetery to check out the statuary. I was especially interested in the work of Hans Shuler, an American sculpture whose work dots Baltimore, from monuments placed throughout the city to memorial figures in its cemeteries.
The first two figures are works from Shulter. The first, titled Meditation, resembles the famed Adams Memorial in Rock Creek Cemetery in Washington D.C. The second, titled Angel of the Resurrection, holds no particular significance, other than its beauty.
As for the rest of the photos? Those are interesting scenes, headstones, statues, and two notable family plots: a crypt belonging to a long-deceased family of Baltimore slave traders (my friend, who studies the Baltimore slave trade, pointed it out), and the Booth plot, where the family's most infamous son—John Wilkes—lies in an unmarked grave.
