Photos
Here are some photos taken after I obtained a digital camera in
2002. A few are scanned photos from earlier.
First, my two favorites.
- Sunset over the Golden Gate
Bridge, taken from MSRI on November 14, 2002.
- Bungee jump from Sky Tower,
Auckland, New Zealand, on January 15, 2003. Though the operators of
Sky Tower call this a "bungee jump," the jumper is actually guided
down. You can see the guide wires at the left, top, and right edges
of the window.
