Old and New

Taken of this building in downtown San Francisco. I like these kinds of crazy architectural mashups. I’m a fan of the work that I.M. Pei did with the Louvre in Paris. You can’t add to an old building without incident or somebody getting worked up. These departures seem like a great solution to a major challenge. I know that not everybody agrees and there is a slight tug of my inner purist from deep within that wants to hate architecture like this, but it’s really a great solution.

This was taken with the G9 and if you look closely enough, you can see the noise. I shot this at 80 ISO RAW and it just doesn’t have the same range as the 5D sensor. Still, a pretty good result given the cost and size of this camera.
