This image is from my test shots on my D200. While I spent an hour with these amazing group of youngsters while they were engrossed in perfecting their art of skating on the Embarcadero promenade. It was 1:00 PM and the sun was bright with the temperature shooting over 75F, but the sweating heat did less to stop these young enthusiasts from trying their acrobats – something worth ranting!

Back to the tram cars! While I was following this tram car on foot, it’s passengers were nice enough to give me their smiles. It’s true they were enjoying the ride on an “open sleigh”. If you have ever noticed, they still change tracks manually with two people tugging and pushing the cart from one track to another at the end of one leg of its route.

Back to advertisements – those stunning pictures that make millions go for the looks, spend millions on those accessories and chase that dream that exist only in our minds. I love shooting billboards and ads and even mannequins. Here is one shot just outside the Powell station in San Francisco, CA US.

Corporations spend thousands of dollars on advertising. The fact that some of the best brains are behind the few words that we see on billboards are evident in their candor, spirit and impression. Here is one such billboard in Powell, San Francisco, CA.
