for most people, people like me, photography sucks. You are looking at the blue angels screaming above the skyline of san francisco. Look at Sausalito over in the distance! And those mighty jets, aren’t they magnificent! Although too small and fast to be picked up by the camera. But i took a photo none the less, to document Fleet Week S.F.
We were actually downtown working on a photo shoot, the 26th floor of an office building when the jets started tearing ass through downtown. At one point they flew below us, between buildings. They dropped pro-McCain leavlets on The Castro, then barrel rolled up out past the Golden Gate Bridge.
Those photographers I was working with were pros – making a plastic surgeons office look like a heart specialists office. They made cheap printouts look like fancy diagrams. The styrofoam heart I spray painted and drizzled with red colored corn syrup looked fresh out of a chest. For a pro, things look better through the lens than with the human eye. On the other hand, my photos reduce the grandeur of the event to a useless waste of pixels. Sorry about that.
