I had business in San Francisco and was on the fence about bringing my camera gear, mainly because the weather called for two straight days of pouring rain. Well, it did rain for two straight days, however, the day before showed the storm coming in just before dusk. Since I was arriving in the afternoon, I took a chance and spent the late afternoon all around the Golden Gate Bridge. Perfect timing I might add as the storm clouds rolled in but not before a great day hiking the beautiful park. By dusk, it began to pour and I was drenched waiting for a taxi to pick me up. Some of the best times for a photographer are just before and right after a big storm. Of course, you have to expect to get a little wet.... People in Arizona don't live in the rain and typically run inside at the onset of any possible weather (if you did that in Portland, you would never go outside!) I did this most of my life.... Not anymore....Live a little!
