25 Years…
Posted at 7:55 am | Filed Under blog
I realized that my blog and this domain (kataan.org) are 25 years old today! I started a project to move the older items from a text archive (downloaded from blogger, remember them?) into my WordPress database. I hadn’t realized that with blogger, I used it like Twitter as a microblog – there are some […]

With all of the construction around the new Transbay Terminal in San Francisco, the area where I work is turning into a virtual goldmine of construction stuff.

Concrete and Pipe, Zeno Place
Posted at 11:53 am | Filed Under art, iphoneography
Another shot of Zeno Place in SOMA, San Francisco. I love the color, the textures, the patina, and the way the light hits the alley in the morning and late afternoons. I’m sure the building (and my favorite subject) will be gone someday soon.

Instagram at lunch
Posted at 2:35 pm | Filed Under journal
Taking photos on my lunch hour, listening to music, and publishing on the web, all from a smartphone. It takes the sting out of not having a jetpack in this iteration of The Future. Unfortunately, I had to try 3 different locations to get a 3G connection from AT&T.

Yes, I’ve gotten that iPhone “plastic cam app” fever that’s going around.

Another city shot taken with my Jazz 207 Jelly camera. It’s rapidly becoming my favorite toy camera. Again. And, my original Jazz post is now #3 on Google searches for “Jazz Jelly”!

Sidewalk Reading, San Francisco

I caught this on my walk home last week. I don’t know if the reader was planning on coming back and was saving the place or not.

Four Chairs

Penmax toy camera, generic 200 ISO film. The Penmax is rapidly becoming one of my favorite toy cameras; it’s very similar to the “TIME Magazine” 35mm cameras. Shutter speed is approximately 1/100th second, a 2-blade diaphragm adjusts to f/8, f/11 and f/16 – and makes truly weird bokeh.

Recently, I’ve been shot most of my street candids portrait-style. I don’t know where this is coming from, maybe I should buy a square-frame medium format camera to cure myself of this? Or am I just looking for an excuse to buy a Holga, Diana or a Lubitel? Does anyone have a favorite, obscure medium […]
