Hans Roenau says he takes pictures of what he sees, but it surely takes an artist’s eye to see a full moon over San Francisco Bay, Mount Tam in morning fog, and Taj Mahal in Sausalito the way he does. There are other things to admire in my favorite photographer. How many 80+ year-old do you know who work for a major publication, blog, drive all over the Bay Area, and travel extensively, never parting with their camera, always ready to be amazed and amused, and endlessly curious about life? I love our conversations with Hans, because we can discuss anything from art and politics to bird instincts and women’s characters, argue about our views, disagree on major issues, pick at each other, enjoy the same artist or vehemently defend our contradictory favorites, and never bother sounding correct or proper. Hans’s daily photography postings can be seen on his blog, Hans Roenau, always supplemented by his witty comments. Check it out.
