Alcatraz Photos

First up is my photo essay, "The Rock", where I tried to stick to a theme, moving beyond just single images to try and tell a story.  I hope you like it.

The golden gate, seen from the industries building on the western side.

You can see the photos in an album, as a slide show, and at my Youtube site 

Since there were some other pictures I took that did not fit into this essay, I have assembled 3 other sets of images:

"Outing on a bay" which has some pictures about the boat trips involved, including my attempts to shoot the San Francisco sky line, at night, from a boat, as I moved through all three dimensions.

Here is the album, slide show, and YouTube

"Sunset on San Francisco" is a series of photos taken over the course of about an hour, straddling sunset.

Finally, "The Rock - Part II" contains other images taken on the island that I liked, but did not fit in with the theme of the photo essay.
