    I'd love to see that palm tree one in a HUGE size. I think it could be even more impressive.

    Well done! The seal and sea otter are my fav's, just because I have a soft spot for seals and sea otters. The palm trees and dock of the bay shots are great! Looks like a fun trip, I tend to spend about one or two months a year in San Fran for work, but I never have time to go shoot! I would love to take a few days to get some play in. Though I do spend a lot of time at In-N-Out.

    So the question is: did you shoot with the song titles in mind or did they come later? Chicken or egg?

    Thank you Leah. I was at a stop light out in the middle of nowhere when I noticed the palm trees. I was wishing the sun was on the opposite side so I could get a nice detailed shot but I was only passing through the town so I went with what I had in front of me and came away with the shot.

    Jack, I can't begin to tell you what a pleasure it was shooting with you and Ed again. It's really been way too long between shoots.

    Please give my bests to Sharon and Aaron.

    As always, Adam, these are fantastic. I love how you put the songs together with your photography. Ever considered a book?

    /me is really jealous about shooting with all of you guys and gals. We need to sort out how to all get together soon.

    It comes to me while I'm shooting.

    The only thing I'm more passionate about than photography is music. I see a situation or shoot a photograph and a song comes to mind.

    I listen to just about everything under the sun so there's always a song title or lyric that comes to mind. :D

    Fantastic set.
