Art About Town: San Francisco... "SOMA"

"We have art in order not to die from truth."

~Friedrich Nietzsche

For this Art About Town post I bring you the newest installation, next to Pier 14 in San Francisco, "SOMA." It comes by way of Burning Man, as have most of the works of art that have stood in this place over the last few years. I have enjoyed all the pieces, especially "Crouching Spider," but this one brought a happy little smile to my face because I will have return to photograph it at night, when all those little bulbs light up in different colors! "SOMA" was created by the artist collective, Flaming Lotus Girls, most famous for their flaming sculptures at Burning Man. I did this photograph in early October, and I plan to go back, sometime in the next couples weeks, in the evening, to see it all lit up in it's colorful glory. I can't wait!

Stay Tuned!

Pier 14

"Above all, life for a photographer cannot be a matter of indifference."

~Robert Frank

I took this photo while I was waiting in traffic on the Embarcadero in the city. It's another one of those photos that I ended up snapping in the last second as the scene, and my position, were about to chance. I am not really sure what it was that scene that made me, on instinct, pick up the camera and take the picture, and even now looking at it and not really sure what I like about it... I just do! If pressed, I suppose it's best feature might be the way things lined up. I am happy enough with that, but the blue cast is a bit off to me.

Shrug.
