Post by: lazs2 on January 17, 2003, 08:47:34 AM: ike... you live in a city that is everything you hate when we have a country that is huge and allmost infinetly diverse... It seems that you have deliberately sought out a city that represents everything that you hate about America and are now using it to fuel your hate.

Kinda sad... like ol weazel serching the dark and lefty corners of the internet for any scrap of information that will make him even a tiny bit more angry and then holding up these scraps to the rest of us like they were gems of wisdom and not poorly polished turds.

I would suggest that both of you move to a small town and ignore the news and on TV and newspapers.

Post by: gofaster on January 17, 2003, 09:29:39 AM: I took this picture as part of a photographic safari I took in my home town. This was shot in the afternoon, looking eastward across the bay.

Ok, see if you can follow me here.

Left to right, the little brown building above the treeline is a hotel.

The white building is office space.

The round building that looks like a set-screw is a bank building for a bank that was bought out by the bank that owns the taller white building to the right of it, so the set-screw building is now nearly empty after the lay-offs. Its future is uncertain, but will probably be leased out as generic office space. Teens refer to it as "the building that looks like a beer can." I went to a costume party once and a couple had dressed up like it: he in the set-screw part and she in the shorter square lobby part adjacent to it (can't see it in the photo because of the trees).

The dark brown building between the two bank buildings is also a bank building and used to be the tallest building in downtown until the construction of the taller white building to the right. Its changed hands at least 4 times since its contruction in the late '70s, mostly due to bank mergers and acquisitions.

The rectangular building with the A-style roof is a swanky hotel and its penthouse is an exclusive club. My brother's wedding reception was held there because, even though we aren't members, we're somewhat connected to society in these parts.

The pointy white building behind it is office space.

The pink building next to it is office space.

The tall square building next to it is a new hotel.

If you look all the way to the right, you'll see a bridge. That's the convention center parking garage next to it. There used to be a monorail that ran from the hotel, through the parking garage, to an island to the right (out of picture range) but it was shut down because it wasn't cost-efficient.

The seawall and sidewalk that runs along the water is a popular jogging path 6 miles long, uninterrupted by cross-streets, and is where I train year-round. If you look close, you'll see regular-spaced "bumps" in the wall. Those are viewpoints and usually during the winter the pro photographers will camp there for landscape shots across the water. On the day I shot the photo, there was a bit of haze in the air so it didn't turn out as well as it could have. The viewpoints are also favored by bums because there are concrete benches in there that they can sleep on or under before going downtown for their free soup. They usually keep to themselves, facing seaward like the statues on Easter Island.

Nestled amongst the trees is THE most expensive real estate in town. Million-dollar mansions face the water, and vintage restored six-figure homes from the 1800's are behind them. If you have that zip code, you're usually pretty well connected to the business community and high society. Its a lot of fun to jog through there during Christmas and see the homes done up with Victorian-style decorations.

Camera was a Pentax ZX-5n with Tamron zoom lens with haze and polarized filters. I can't remember my film speed or settings for this particular shot.
