Went to the Folsom Street Fair again this year to enjoy the sights. I was taking photos with my new Canon EOS 7D Mark II and a EF 40mm f/2.8 STM lens. The 7D’s autofocus is so fast and the shutter so quick, it’s a joy to shoot. The little pancake lens is super light and … Read more

I went and hung out at the DFL race in Bayshore last night. Dirty cross racing in a toxic hell hole of a place. The Bayshore Train Yard is not a safe place for man or beast. Lots of flat tires on the course during the race and a few spills in the main corner but … Read more
