Abstract San Francisco: Somewhat Human [Fragment 7]

Posted on May 21, 2013 by Benjamin Simpson

Early morning Sunday in San Francisco.
Empty streets with reflecting windows.
Mannequins in shop windows, and eyes on billboards,
somewhat, but not quite, human.

Flying: Birds at Legg Lake

Posted on February 13, 2013 by Benjamin Simpson

Driving south on Rosemead Blvd, looking for the 60 East.
I know the on-ramp is on the left.
Oh, s**t, it’s on the right.
Ok, I can turn around up there.
Oh look, a lake.
And birds.
And I have my camera….


Great Blue Heron (Ardea herodias)
