Suburban Sign | Mark Lindsay
It is a grand notion to think of suburbia as being monumental. Normally perceived in daily life, it seems like a monotonous parade of one block after another, one lawn after the next. If one is attracted to the grandiose, suburbia can often be numbing.

Woman and Sign, San Francisco | Mark Lindsay
The city, San Francisco or most any city, is full of small, fleeting treasures. Riches are everywhere—little vignettes of joy, intrigue, and ephemeral pleasure that compel me to click the shutter of my camera. Many are haphazard collections of life’s serendipity. Most affirm my belief that the cosmic powers that run this universe of ours have a very good sense of humor.

The City from a Ferry Seat | Mark Lindsay
On the ferry ride into San Francisco I could hardly contain myself. The morning air was brisk and the low light golden as I ran from side to side in the boat, searching for the best photos to make. I must have driven the other, more placid passengers crazy as I walked past them a hundred times. There was simply too much to see. The day and my disposition were fresh and I was getting overstimulated.

New Morning in Chinatown | Mark Lindsay
Optimism is not born naturally to me with each sunrise. I've never been a morning person nor shall I ever be one. It takes a good hour for the creaky bones and foggy head to allow in the rays of hopefulness. I rub the sleep out of my eyes and grumble at the cats as I lift myself out of the tomb of sleep. I slip into my slippers and shuffle my way to the kitchen. The coffee pot draws my attention before all else. I eagerly await the sound of boiling water and the first sip of the warming elixir. I gulp and then sigh. No, a morning person I shall never be.

Chinatown Merchant, San Francisco | Mark Lindsay
It started out to be a curious, little problem. My Nikon's navigation button on the back of the camera was acting strangely. First it worked and then it didn't and then it worked again. This was followed by a hissy fit which was then followed by complete unresponsiveness. It reminded me of a few girlfriends from my youth. I looked at it, I held it, and then I shook my head. I didn't know quite what to do.
