Lake Merritt

Yesterday I went on a walk and took some pictures. This is significant mainly because ever since I came back from Honduras, I have been completely uninspired in regard to photography. I figured it was a nice day, so I might as well take my camera to see what would happen. Some of the pictures actually turned out pretty good.

I honestly didn't realize how close I now live to Lake Merritt, which is cool, because it's actually pretty. My pictures make Oakland not look so bad after all (to those who only know Oakland by its stereotype, of course - those who live here know that there are some parts that are beautiful). I used my film camera and had the pictures put onto a cd (like I do with the majority of my pictures).

Here are a few for your eyegasmic pleasure:

damien - come visit oakland, we can all party bay area style!

binsk - cool...i'd offer you a cigarette if you were closer!

gtx - yeah, people like reading about my (mis)adventures. I guess technically the definition is something along the lines of "misfortune, mishap," but I like to think of it more as the wrong type of adventures, or adventures down the wrong path...
