Alvin Tenpo > Loser's Game, Mile Rock Beach, San Francisco, CA

Scouted out this location back in April and made a mental note to revisit this
location for an evening shoot.  

May 8, 2009 looked to be the right time as it was a Friday and nearly a full moon,
I could drive to SF after work.

I slogged through SF traffic and hiked about 1/2 mile to the rocky beach.
The location is incredible, the rocky beach feels so wild and isolated despite
it's proximity to 800,000 people.  

I was feeling anxious because the tide seemed to be getting higher and the rocky
beach makes it hard to move around.  

The natural beauty contrasted with the remains of a fallen tagged over bathroom
is amazing.

I used a gel'd spotlight to fill in the shadow areas.  Ambient light on the front of the
bathroom.
