State Street Farmers Market
This is State Street in Santa Barbara on a Tuesday afternoon. One of our larger farmers markets, although they set up at one place or another around town almost every day of the week. I was looking for some nice shots of the people on state street, and this turned out to be one of my favorites mainly because of the little girl's expression in the lower left.

Sunset at the Santa Barbara Farmers Market Vertical Panorama
A couple of weeks ago I was wandering around the Santa Barbara Farmers' Market during a beautiful sunset. It was the perfect opportunity for a glimpse of downtown Santa Barbara life.

Santa Barbara Historical Museum Panorama
In the middle of downtown Santa Barbara there are some amazing spots. The Santa Barbara Historical Musuem is a place where you can see the classic spanish architecture that our city is famous for right in the middle of the city.

Paradise at the Farmers' Market
This is another shot from last night at the Farmers' Market. I actually spent less time taking pictures than driving the few miles to get there, but I had a good time once I did. Maybe next time I'll get there a little earlier.

Tuesday Night Farmers' Market
It's been a busy couple of months but last night the fog was so beautiful I thought I would try to get some sunset fog shots at the Farmers' Market. (Then I could get a little Thanksgiving shopping done too! :) Unfortunately, the fog was much lighter tonight and I was a little late for the sunset (still have not adjusted to that time change!) but it was still a fun night with my camera.

Fisheye Sunset at Savoy
I have been preparing more photos from an old shoot for
one of my favorite clients. This is a beautiful
restaurant on Figueroa Street in Santa Barbara.
It is run by a really nice couple who
grew up around here. With all of the huge corporations
setting their sights on Santa Barbara in recent years
it is really nice to see a good local business thrive!
They have really nice photos on the walls too! :-D

Canon Perdido
I never really noticed the streetlights
around here before I started taking my
evening shots of the city. They are
actually very interesting and add a lot
to the photos. Now I try to get them in
the shot whenever I can.
If you look closely to the left of the streetlight
on the sidewalk you will see a couple of black
smudges in the photo. Those were actually
people walking on the sidewalk. The exposure
was almost long enough for them to disappear completely
because of their movement,
but not quite.

La Arcada
This is a little shopping center on State Street. We ate lunch there today, as much for the atmosphere as for the food. Down this path on the right is Gallery 113, the gallery of the Santa Barbara Art Association. A fitting place for a gallery.
