Shooting Oakland, and other stories

Real Time Bridge

A friend from school has put together a live webcam of the Golden Gate Bridge at http://www.goldengatecam.com/. There may well be others out there, but this one offers a nice view of the bridge (and probably quite often the fog obscuring the bridge) from the east. 30-second updates. Right now, the shot is pretty spectacular. I can't wait to take a look at the site around sunset, since I generally can't see the bridge at sunset from most anywhere I happen to be at the time.

Anyway, feel free to take a look. Guy didn't ask me to pimp it for him, but I'm doing so all the same.

Get 'em while they're young

Last night while I was walking home from my FLGS, I found myself near the protesters walking up Broadway on 10th Street. I took some pictures, and basically paced them until they stopped at 14th Street. There police in riot gear arranged themselves on two sides of the intersection. This officer was facing away from the protesters, officers on either side of him were facing in toward the street.
