San Francisco Doors #24

These are night shots and being too poor to buy one, I didn't use a tripod. They are shot either holding the camera in my hands or by bracing the camera against a sign post or other kind of pole. I only used a car one time, never again. The person was sitting in the car and jumped out thinking I was trying to break into it. He was steamed. When I showed him the camera he calmed down a little but was still mad. I hightailed it down the block and never used another car as a tripod.

How about your own car? I use mine all the time as a support.
I take it you walk while doing street photography. I do use my car in more than one way at times when doing landscape photography.
Wow, imagine someone coming out of one of those doors with a shot gun! How close were you / how long a lenses were you using? Interesting photo project none-the-less.

I don't own a car. I live in the city so it is easier to do without a car. I gave up my car in 1995 and don't regret it at all. I used to walk everywhere before my cervical spine injury which has left me unable to walk for any distance. Now my car is my mobility scooter, it's not much support.
There have been times when people wanted to know why I was taking a picture of their door. I always found that a bit strange, because San Francisco is one of the world's top destinations for tourists. There is always people taking pictures of everything. Besides, I tend to take photos of things that stand out or are unusual or attractive. Why would anyone who is an exhibitionist, that's how I see those who display unusual things, be surprised when someone takes a photo of the thing they displayed for attention?
As you can see I am careful not to include sensitive things or people's faces in my photos. I don't try to invade anyone's space. There are some photos where you can see inside the house through the window. If they didn't want anyone to see in they would close the blinds. Leaving it open with the light on does not fit the expectation of privacy. Nonetheless, people are weird about having their picture taken so I avoid photos of people all together.

Nicely done! San Francisco is an interesting and beautiful city. I prefer to live in the suburbs and where it's warmer. However, I'm only 30 miles to the east, so I can go there whenever I want. For those reading this in other parts of the country (and world), that 30 miles can easily be a 40 degree difference in the summer due to the Bay Area micro-climates.

Sorry but I have more. You are free not to open my posts, which I luckily, for you, name San Francisco Doors.

I guess you are somewhat interested because you have commented on another of my posts. Perhaps you like being bored?
