Ocean Beach, San Francisco, Digital Rebel
This is San Francisco. This is Ocean Beach in San Francisco. This is me at Ocean Beach in San Francisco feeling so grateful for this day, for my friend's car, for my hike along the hills, for the sun that rose and fell, for the salty air, and for my eyes that can see all this beauty.

Posted by: t at February 25, 2004 04:13 PMYou are so blessed to live near such beauty. Thank you for sharing this beauty with everyone you can. Voyeuristic as it may be I am a big fan of your website. Every thing you say is so sincere. Thank you.
Posted by: liz at February 25, 2004 11:44 AMI have spent the last few days enjoying everything around me (more than usual). The bright warm winter sun, the way the undisturbed snow instantly beautifies any road trip. The elderly gentleman who walked up to my small table at the coffee shop and asked what book I was reading.
Isn't it funny that we were both enjoying the same beautiful day from two entirely different parts of the world!?
Great shot, A!
Posted by: pt*:) at February 24, 2004 02:30 PMWhat an amazing photo!.... I am grateful that you have such an awesome sense of beauty and wonder, and that you take such fabulous pictures to share with all of us. Seeing such breath-taking beauty, really made my day. Thank you :)

Posted by: mademoiselle a. at February 24, 2004 02:20 PMI love the picture and I'm so glad you updated. I liked the first picture of that man but his hands were too much. I have to admit that when I visited your site I hurriedly refreshed and scrolled down so I wouldn't have to see them again.
So thank you, beautiful sunset. Beautiful camera. Beautiful woman. :)
Posted by: erika at February 24, 2004 12:24 PMSo beautifu! I've been down there feeling the same way and it's just the most miraculous feeling ever. It brings me back to the reality that I live here and love the ocean for all it's glory.
thank you for sharing all your beautiful photos and beautiful insights.

Posted by: kristal at February 24, 2004 07:48 AMyour new camera is fabulous, absolutely, but your pictures are just as lovely when you've used a thrift store poloroid. It's how you see things that make these images truly wonderful.

Posted by: crissy at February 24, 2004 06:18 AMDear Andrea,
Thank you for your photos and your words. I am grateful for them. When I see a beautiful image, I too must capture it...and share it with others. I often find myself in awe of the beauty I discover around me. It is equally gratifying to see others react...be touched in the same way. How fortunate to be truly "present", to bear witness to such wonders...and to freeze time so that others may see.
A salute to your eyes and your soul!
Wendy
I wish I was there too.
AND...
I wish I had a digital rebel...
Beautiful Shot!
