The May Art Wall at the Bay View
Not my usual fare, but I was trying out my new viewfinder yesterday morning and was pleased my camera was up to the job. It also makes me think maybe Spring really has arrived.
I always love shooting SFMOMA’s interior, but on a recent visit to see the Mexican Photography exhibit, I spent some time outside. Got a few interesting shots I think.
The Dept of Labor has mounted a group show drawn from the SF Women Artists Gallery at the Federal Building - 90 Seventh St, San Francisco – where 4 of my pieces are on display. The closing reception is Thursday 3/29 from 11:30 – 3:30. I will be there and hope to see some familiar faces.
Took a little tour last week to the Art Center which is an old army barracks. Their current show is called Demob. The show was interesting, but as usual, I focused more on the building. Here are a few shots.
Two exciting facebook events (well, three if you count my recent incursion into Words With Friends – but that truly is another story). I started a ‘fan page’, jessica levant photo art , and I do invite you to visit, post comments, ‘like’ anything you do like, and ‘like’ the whole page. If you don’t know, ‘liking’ helps it get promoted by facebook.
I was also invited to post in the facebook group: The Street is my Studio. In the past week, I’ve posted 16 photos – and have a few more in the wings before I start looking back through my files for more. There are some wonderful street photographers represented there.
Seems I shoot a lot of windows, so I added a section. If you haven’t perused the galleries lately, have a look at Windows.

Gate 6 is a houseboat community in Sausalito, CA. Some beautiful houseboats there, but also some rather derelict structures. During a recent stroll there, the tide was – well there wasn’t any. I caught some interesting images, most of which are in the albums on this site.
and then after a nice dinner and a visit to my cousins’ apartment on the bay, I managed a nice night shot looking back toward San Francisco.
Found myself in the lobby of UCSF in Mission Bay a couple of weeks ago and got fascinated with the colors and angles of the waiting area. Here are a couple of resulting creations:
And then from my recent trip back east, I found willing bits of nature and structures that screamed ‘abstract’ at me:
The left one is from a wall near Elfreth’s Alley in Philadelphia; the one on the right is a pond in the Pepsico Sculpture Garden in Purchase, NY. Larger versions of all of these are in the Colors & Textures albums.
