On my to meet with Troy and Brandon yesterday I got sidetracked by this beautiful sunlight pouring down Ellis St. I decided to camp out in the shadow of a newspaper box and took these shots. I got a billion more in the Tenderloin last night, but the shots from this corner were my favorite.
Messing around with time and HDR.
Created two different versions of this photo in black and white, one emphasizing details and light the other emphasizing the heavy shadows, then ran these two images through TrueHDR for the above photo.
About DocPop
It all started with games.. During his daily ride on SF BART, Doctor Popular would constantly drain his new iPhone's battery playing Field Runners, but this app obsession soon spread from games to music. Using apps like Nanoloop and Thumbjam, Doc created an an entire album with his iPhone. He was also one of the first street musicians to perform with an iPad. Now Doc spends most of his spare time creating photography and visual art with his iPhone. Currently he is working on The Daily App Experiment, a year long collection of experimental art, and a book collecting his "appsperiments".

Great blog. Love the stories behind your images. The light and shadow work so well together.
