Fourth Street Lofts Web Log

The more I think about it, the more convinced I am that the third and fourth floors should have artwork a similar shape to the third floor panorama. This makes things a lot easier, actually - just one print to hang, and keeps costs down as well.

The consensus is that the images should also be of or about or at least shot from Oakland. Patti Beadles submitted a cool shot taken from the Port of Oakland. I think I'd like to combine it with a couple other shots - something like this:

This isn't the exact aspect ratio, and of course the images can be changed and/or shuffled around. This is the direction I'm heading - I think.

I did a photographic experiment today that did not turn out exactly as I hoped it would. I thought I'd build the word "Oakland" out of characters photographed on buildings in the Jack London District or on other historic Oakland landmarks. So, I went out this afternoon and did some shooting in the 'hood. Unfortunately, I could not ever get the results to look like I imagined it might, although there were some fun moments while assembling the characters in PhotoShop.

Can you guess where these images were shot?
