Telegraph Avenue
Berkeley #1-#9

The following were photos taken while on a trip to Telegraph Avenue in Berkeley, just before Christmas, 2004. I had a photo "framed" there by the Reprint Mint. (They do no-frame mounting onto wood. The final result looks like an approximately one inch thick slab, the other two dimensions being the dimensions of your photo, with the photo covering the front face.)

Graffiti on a store window along Telegraph Avenue.

Part of a mural on the side of a building. I think this was the side of the Amoeba Records store (at Haste and Telegraph).

alt

Sather Gate Garage, one-half block west off of Telegraph Avenue, between Durant Avenue and Channing Way.

A couple relaxing on the sidewalk with their dog.

Street artist's display of scarves for sale.

Display of patches for sale by a street vendor.

The photo above and the two below are of the wares of an artist that works in leather, creating belts, leather handcuffs, cell phone holders, and other items.

alt

The three photos of the leather goods are somewhat similar. I've posted all three because I haven't decided which I like best.

If you like one of the leather ware photos best, let me know. Click on the COMMENTS link below. Thanks.

There's one cul-de-sac, Estate Drive, off Grant Road in Los Altos, where all the houses decorate for the holidays with a multitude of lights. This is one view on that street.

Heavy Cropping #1 & #2

alt

alt

Small sections of photos of a friend, with a bit of tweaking. The eye is obvious, but the heavy cropping leaves the first one a bit of a mystery, for at least a moment or two.
