Balboa Park Golf Course plan gets go-ahead
I pay into the Golf Enterprise Fund every time I play at Balboa Park with the understanding that the money goes to support golf. The plan is to actually shorten the 9-hole course to make room for a clubhouse that is being built as a wedding banquet facility. I feel the lawyers have robbed us.— November 21, 2014 8:04 a.m.
Photography Book Launch
Yes, film cameras were required at the community colleges, because they were invested in darkrooms and labs and the teachers were familiar with film photography. Increasingly, they are moving to digital. Film photography is still a very rewarding image-making medium, but knowledge of it is definitely not a prerequisite to becoming a good photographer.— January 29, 2012 7:35 p.m.
Loose Dog at the Airport
This is why I stopped posting photographs in the Reader Photo-of-the-Week competition. They used it to rip off photographers by re-using pictures in stories like this. This is my photograph of Lindbergh field and I don't appreciate the way the Reader treats copyright. The spirit of having a local competition is not to dupe photographers out of their work. www.markholmesphoto.com— February 25, 2011 8:07 a.m.
Home Again
Sorry Patsy. I took it down and edited the article rather than face your wrath. I know what that can be like!— March 25, 2010 9:47 a.m.
Embarcadero
These shots through the kaleidoscope didn't turn out too well. You have to push your camera all the way in so that it exposes for the light inside it. Your shot of the Wells Fargo building is very nice!— December 6, 2009 9:49 p.m.
Unforgettable: A Walk on the Stingaree Side Part 6
I have enjoyed this series tremendously. Informative and entertaining at the same time. I have an office in 437 J Street, which is a lovely old building. I'm told it has been a bordello, a hotel, and an orphanage. When I climb the steep stairs from the entrance to the second floor, I wonder how many drunken sailors have been thrown down them in days gone by. If you know any stories about this building I'd love to know them!— August 24, 2009 10:28 a.m.

Prohibition
Prohibition was mostly the 1920s not the 1930s. It ended in 1933— August 8, 2009 12:13 a.m.
Nimitz Leaves on a Gray Morning

Not the San Diego Zoo
Your username looks familiar. Are you sure I don't know you? I teach digital photography workshops in locations around town. That's often what gets me out and about.— June 23, 2009 8:25 p.m.
