Crosses at Lafayette BART Station

     I’m planning another trip to the Lafayette BART station. I’ve been encouraged by my advanced photoshop class to go back at different times of the day to create more panoramics of this poignant site. I want to make a series that documents the rising numbers.   According to zombietime.com the crosses were erected by Jeff Heaton on November 13, 2006 because he wanted the viewer to feel bad about the human cost of the conflict.  Sfgate.com quoted Mr. Heaton as saying ”We’ve been accused of being political, but the sign isn’t political,It’s a statement of fact.” 

     My husband, who works for BART, took me on the hour long ride over to the site which is striking and can be seen from the satation.   I was moved.

Hello world!

Previously I had all of my pictures on a Gallery website and got feedback that there were just too many pictures on the site and that it was confusing to go through.  Because of that feedback I decided to move that site to noriega.us.com Take a look at it and you’ll see what I mean. It’s a family site of pictures I’ve taken through the years at our annual reunion in Sinaloa, Mazatlan, Mexico (in a village called Camino Real de Piaxtla) every December.  Anyhow, I decided to launch the Livebooks site and it’s no longer confusing to clients and only showcases my favorite images – take a look at it  rosemarynoriega.com

At one point I enrolled in a Photography for the web class at CCSF aka City College of San Francisco and found it mind numbing.  I rather spend my time photographing and writing on my new blog
