"Cardozo’s words, while inspiring, were not inspiring enough to inject any vigor into the pathetic, book reading blob I have become, but they were enough to remind me of something I’ve wondered before . . ." [see the full-size image ...]

Or, for “The King of Them All” . . . Roto Grip! I regularly shoot images of bay and beach flotsam, documenting the end result of our trashy habits. So, when I saw this bowling ball on a beach in Alameda, it was going to be just that — a quick documentation of San Francisco [...]
