38/365 SF Roof Top, originally uploaded by Kirk Howard.Image 38/365 Shot from my Sister-in-laws roof top. She recently moved to a new place in San Francisco. She now lives in a snow globe. When sitting on her couch she has a view from Yerba Buena Island to Russian HIll. This view includes the Bay Bridge, Coit Tower, Cathedral at Washington Square and Transamerican building.

I really think I should have named this where’s Waldo. My wife and her sister went into San Francisco to see the Play Wicked at the Orpheum Theatre. I was there only to meet them for dinner.
I snapped this image as I saw my wife, she is the short blonde that is looking at me.

My wife is a 3/4 grade teacher. This term they are doing a study of the local indians that lived in the San Francisco Bay Area. One of the things they do is create a piece of art from a “Oak Gall” or “Wasp Gall”. These were the best among and my wife asked me if I would photograph them.

I found these mushrooms on a tree just down the street from my house. I waited until the afternoon light. Since the light was fading I used a 12 inch silver reflector to get light under the mushrooms.

Here is a early morning image of Alcatraz Island in the San Francisco Bay. I was walking from Pier 39 to my sister-in-laws apartment.
The morning light was great. The sun wasn’t so high in the sky that it casted shadows, plus the air was clean from the previous nights rainstorm.

This is my lunch… Salmon, cream cheese, white onion on a bagel.
I still have a ton of reading to do, but I need to order a copy of Dreamweaver to continue my construction.
I have been working on a new website. When I got my MacBook Pro, I also bout a year subscription to Apples Mobile Me. I built a small website in iWeb ‘08. I know that iWeb ‘09 has many more features then iWeb ‘08, but I didn’t feel it was going to produce what I needed. The UI or user interface is great. Drag and Drop, easy setup and easy to post, as long as you had an active Mobile Me account. Like I said, iWeb is a great little program, but it was limited to what I thought I needed. Stuff I wanted to do to on my site was beyond the capabilities of iWeb.
So I am working on a new design for my website. I am using Adobe Dreamweaver CS4. I downloaded it free from Adobes website. They offer a 30-day free trial. I have used Dreamweaver before.
A few years ago, a friend and I would drive to Kearney Mesa (San Diego) twice a week to attend this free Dreamweaver class. The version we used was the Dreamweaver MX that was Macromedia product. The new version of Dreamweaver is easier to use and not as clunky, even though I thought that Dreamweaver MX was the bomb back in the day.
So if you look at my site you would say I haven’t gotten very far. Well you would be correct. This is why I have left the old website under my current domain name www.KiHoPhoto.com. Continue Reading…

I have been working on a new website. So I am working on a new design for my website. I am using Adobe Dreamweaver CS4. I have not done much to the new site because; I spend a tremendous amount of time reading. Dreamweaver isn’t like iWeb, you have to know a little html to get going, plus you need to have a little understanding of how the w3c works. Here are a few books that I am reading Dreamweaver CS4 The Missing Manual, and Creating a Web Site The Missing Manual. The Dreamweaver CS4 book has almost 1100 pages. So you can imagine its not light reading.
Most sites are built with HTML, DHTML, XML and CSS. I have found some that are built using Flash or have flash components in them. Other sites use Java Script for fancy and smooth looking features. And then you have some sites that have a pseudo Java Script function JQuery. JQuery is a simple way of writing Java Script. Also, you have website that use MySQL and or Php. Then I have found some sites that use a little of everything.
I am so confused. Yesterday with all the new languages that I was learning, I thought to myself “I might as well learn how to read and speak Chinese or Japanese it would be easier”.
