The St Francis of Assisi Statue lit up with the setting sun at Candlestick Park in 1988 when the stadium and statue were still there. Now, they are both gone from this location. When the sun shone thru the halo around the head of the statue, it was truly magnificent.

Old SF Gate Article about St Francis of Assisi Statue

This statue was at Candlestick Park for 40 years. Does anyone know where this statue is now? According to this article, there were plans to build a shopping mall to replace Candlestick Park. This statue was created by the artist – Ruth Wakefield Cravath. It was installed in 1973. This statue was the guard to watch over all the sporting events at Candlestick Park.

During these pandemic times, there has been a lot of loss – lives, jobs, income, money, and daily livelihoods. Whenever we should gather again, there will be people we saw before the pandemic who are gone now. When Candlestick Park was demolished, many old fans went out to watch the different phases of the work. Fans lost an iconic stadium where they spent a significant amount of time enjoying sports while building close relationships. 

Significant loss is difficult to handle in normal times. But during this pandemic life, loss is harder due to our lack of physical interaction with people outside our bubble. Looking at old pictures and remembering the people and this old statute at Candlestick Park gives me comfort. Old photographs allow me to reflect on the good old times and the people who made the memories great. 

Just as the St Francis of Assisi statue guarded the sports events at Candlestick Park, we also need to keep guard of the precious people and events in our life – past and present. We can remember the people we miss during these pandemic times thru photos and think about their wonderful character to mimic in our life.

Photos remind us of what and who we miss!

Light and Dark at Candlestick Park

This was the walkway in the back of the general admission area under the centerfield scoreboard at Candlestick Park. It provided some shade on sunny days. I took these pictures with my 35mm Canon film camera. I shot with 35mm Kodak Kodachrome film. This was back in the days when I had to ration out my picture taking as I only had about 37 exposures on one roll of film. I wish I had my current digital camera while photographing at Candlestick Park in the late 1980’s.  I would have taken a lot more pictures.

Many sports fans who enjoyed Candlestick Park remember the section they sat in. People remember the places where they had fun with family and friends. Enjoying the games and discussing sports strategy build relationships. Many fans spent quality time at Candlestick Park. Everyone needs social interaction to grow and learn. Candlestick Park was a place we all could gather together and interact.

During this Pandemic, our social interaction has drastically changed. We do Zoom to see our family, relatives and friends. Our live social interactions have been limited to a handful of people for this last year. Good relationships help individuals become better. Despite the hardships of this past year, we’ve learned new things from each other.

Just as we see the dark shade versus the bright sun shining over the stadium seats, good relationships can bring light to individuals who could be in the dark. We all face darkness in our trials, temptations and hardships. Facing challenges can be confusing and difficult to choose the correct path out of the confusing darkness.

A few years ago, a few of us went on a cruise vacation. We had a blast together. One friend decided to try the acupuncturist on the ship due to a bad foot problem. She found the treatments wonderful in providing relief for her problem. She suggested my wife and I try this specialist for physical problems. My wife was not too keen to try. The experience definitely brought light and improvement for my wife. She still practices what the acupuncturist told her to do. If it were not for our relationships to encourage us to try something new, we would not have gained the valuable lessons.

We all need relationships to help us get out of the dark and see new light. It’s no fun falling down and hurting ourselves as we stumble in the dark.

Peanuts! Soda! At Candlestick Park!

This Candlestick Park concession vendor #289 was either in the General Admissions or the bleacher section. These were the cheap and affordable seats at $2.50, since they were far from home plate. We were restricted to stay in this area and not allowed to other parts of the stadium.

It is always fun to buy the snacks and food at the ballpark. This guy was selling peanuts at 75 cents and soft drinks at $1.25 a cup. It is hard to believe those prices existed once upon a time. I wonder how much profit these vendors received from all their hard work.

Candlestick Park was full, since the SF Giants were playing the Dodgers. Most fans enjoyed eating and drinking during a baseball game. It was part of the fun.

We watched Super Bowl LV. Normally we would go to someone’s house for a Super Bowl party. There are a lots of great food selections at this football potluck. It was fun being with our friends. Unfortunately, there was no fun party to attend with our friends. We had our private party at home with our homemade pizza, dumplings and swordfish. We did enjoy eating and watching the game by ourselves.

Part of the fun we had at Candlestick Park was enjoying the game while eating with our friends. It was so nice how tickets and food were affordable, so everyone could go. I could attend any game, if my schedule was free. I did not hesitate about buying food at the Stick, since prices were reasonable.

Who knows when we will be at Oracle Park again to watch the SF Giants live? Will Opening Day be available to the public? Not only do we not know if fans can go due to this pandemic, but what will prices be like. Unfortunately, Oracle Park and the SF Giants have lost lots of money due to the pandemic. Businesses are challenged how to operate with our current challenges.

Many of us enjoy the old memories at Candlestick Park where availability of tickets, food and fun were easy and affordable. These old pictures show the younger generation what it was like to attend a baseball game at Candlestick Park, and how the atmosphere was different. There were no barriers to stop people from going as there are today. Of course in 30 years in the future, our current day scenario will look good.

The lesson learned is to appreciate today’s circumstances. We cannot go back in time, but we can appreciate the good old fun experiences. We should not be overly worried about tomorrow on circumstances we cannot control. We should just make the most of each day and be thankful for today.

Photos tell old stories!

Stretching at Candlestick Park in 1991

06 Saturday Feb 2021

I took this picture many years ago with my 35mm Canon film camera. The San Diego Padres were the SF Giants opponent and were taking batting practice and were doing pre-game stretching exercises before a night game. The picture sums up Candlestick Park during a summer night game being windy, cold, and kind of dreary during many occasions.

This photograph is a good reminder we all need to stretch. As I get older, aches and pains are starting to happen. There are back and neck issues which sometimes bother me. I may not be a professional baseball player who stress their bodies in playing. But I still experience stress in my body.

During this pandemic, my goal is to improve my health and build up our immunity to reduce risk in catching this unpredictable virus. I already had a Fitbit and was walking. I increased my step to close to 20,000 per day.  I was able to reduce my weight by 10 pounds. The Fitbit inspires me to walk my quota of steps each hour. I do not go out to walk but walk all over my home. I keep moving and watch my count during the day. The Fitbit encourages me to keep walking.

Another tool I recently acquired is the Chirp Wheel. We happened to find a little cheaper deal and remembered seeing this product on Shark Tank. 

This is the link to see this Shark Tank clip.

I just started trying to stretch on this wheel. My wife accidentally fell off the wheel when it was uneven on her exercise mat. So I do need to be careful while stretching on it. It did feel good on my back. My wife is trying to stretch her back to help her sciatica.

It is important to find things to inspire us to fix and improve when faced with a problem. It is easy to get discouraged when in pain. There is some physical pain where there is no easy solution. But when possible, stretching has improved how we feel. Walking has helped me emotionally and physically. Walking does calm me down especially during this pandemic period.

Try something new to improve our physical being. If we can improve how we feel physically, this helps our emotional and spiritual being.

Photos Inspire! Go Giants!

Blowing kisses to say Good Bye to Tommy Lasorda

09 Saturday Jan 2021

The Opening Night pregame lineup for the 1991 season with the San Francisco Giants facing the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Giants’ manager Roger Craig is seen greeting the Dodger’s manager, Tommy Lasorda. The rivalry between the teams is intense but for the introduction of the line-up, it was on the lighter side.

SF Giants fans will miss Los Angeles Dodgers’ manager, Tommy Lasorda. Despite the rivalry between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the San Francisco Giants, SF Giants fans had fun watching Tommy Lasorda.

SF Giants fans loved booing Tommy Lasorda, and he loved blowing kisses to the booing fans at Candlestick Park. It was very entertaining to watch. This was a ritual whenever Tommy Lasorda visited the Stick. I appreciated his excellent attitude in receiving the boo’s. Tommy Lasorda taught us how to exhibit good sportsmanship.

It was natural for this Dodger coach to get mad when the players did not perform. He would get angry and yell at players to play better. But we all need to hear the yelling to push to the limits for the best performance. We all need someone to cheer and criticize us to be our best. A good coach will suggest us to try new things to improve. Old routines are good. But change is constant, and we need to change too.

A few years ago, I was encouraged to start this blog. I was not too keen to showing my photographs online. I did not think there would be interest in my photography. Creating a website was a challenge. It was a big hurdle and challenge that I was not willing to attempt initially. It was a learning experience, and we are still learning how to do a better blog. We are learning to express our thoughts and revelations to show off my photographs. If people in my life did not encourage and coach me in different ways, I would not have started this blog. It is still a challenge. But I learned the more work I do on my photography, I do reap rewards. It has been a step by step journey. It is a work of faith not knowing where the journey will lead.

Tommy Lasorda’s good attitude and fighting spirit is an example to all of us. We need to smile at adversity, even as he welcomed the SF Giants fans boo greetings. Welcoming challenges will help us to push to win. Welcoming rivalry encourages us to be our best.

Tommy Lasorda deserves us blowing him kisses to say “Good Bye”. He also earned our respect to follow his excellent attitude example.

Photos remember a great icon!

Flood Light Bulbs Made up Candlestick Park Scoreboard

28 Friday Feb 2020

I enjoyed looking at the old scoreboard at Candlestick Park. It is old technology compared to the new fancy scoreboard at Oracle Park today. But the old scoreboard still has a unique look. It is fascinating to look close up and see the individual round floodlights which together project the words and images. The photographs were taken during the SF Giants’ 1988 season.

It is also cool to see the shadow effect in the 3rd photograph of each of the floodlights.

Besides the actual game, the scoreboard is the “centerpiece” of a ballpark. We constantly look at it for scores, stats, commercials, information, and entertainment.

The first photograph of the Scoreboard reminds us of the “ASK THE GIANTS” event. How exciting to be able to “talk directly to your favorite Giants player”.

I wonder how did the Candlestick Park maintenance team replace these floodlights. I assume they would have to test to see if any lights went out before a game to replace any burned out lights. The scoreboard would not look good if any of the light were dark. There could be a “black hole” on the scoreboard.

It was relatively easy to replace a floodlight at Candlestick Park – I would guess.

In real life, it is not as easy to keep our “brain” light bright. I am noticing people I know who in their younger years were quite sharp. Now due to age and changes in lifestyle are unaware and out of touch on some things. These individuals are under retirement age, but are not in their twenties.

It is a challenge to keep physically and mentally alert. It is a good thing for me to learn the new technology for my photography. Learning slowly about blogging has been an interesting journey. Fumbling and being successful with my own home network system has been rewarding.

How can we keep bright?

  • Be Involved in different people’s lives in addition to your own family. Being interested in other people outside of your family teaches other perspectives in life. It will help us to understand other people’s reality. Also it will teach us the world does not revolve around “ME”.
  • Be Challenged to learn new things. Try to improve in a skill you think you are not good at. My wife has been writing blogs. She never thought of herself as a writer, but is surprised she is learning to love it.
  • Do projects to test your creativity. I have a garden project where I hope to create my oasis for shooting pictures. More details to come later.
  • Do not be afraid of failure. Just keep pursuing and learn. It’s like running a race to get to the finish line. If you give up, you will never know the possible outcomes. Believe in the impossible.

My goal is to continue not to dwell on the times I get frustrated with my learning efforts, but to be determined to keep my brain light bright!

Full House at Candlestick Park during SF Giants Game

25 Tuesday Feb 2020

Baseball Stadium, Candlestick, Candlestick Park, Candlestick Park Days Past, Candlestick Park Photography Art, Canon, Etsy Untouchedtcphotos, Former Baseball Stadium, Fuji Photo Day, giants nation, giants nation united, Lost Ballpark, Remembering Candlestick Park, San Francisco, San Francisco Giants, SF Giants, Stadium Art, tell it goodbye, the stick, Untouchedtcphotos, We are Giants, we are sf

The SF Giants played the NY Mets on this warm sunny day on Saturday, May 14, 1988 at Candlestick Park. It was a popular promotion day, Fuji Photo Day, which allowed fans to go on the field before the game started.

I loved going to the Fuji Photo Days at Candlestick Park. It was one of my favorite promotions, since fans were allowed to walk on the well groomed field before the game began. I love the feeling of walking on the grass. It is a different sensation for me to walk on the baseball field compared to walking on ordinary grass.

This also was a rare day to attend a game with sunshine at the Stick. Normally, it was cold and foggy whenever I attended a SF Giants game. But this day was a warm and bright day.

It is wonderful that the stadium is filled with fans. Seeing a stadium with every seat occupied creates great energy and excitement.

One reason why I enjoyed going to Candlestick Park a couple of hours before a game is to have the freedom to shoot pictures without the huge crowds of people. I do not enjoy crowds. Crowds make me feel uncomfortable. I end up giving the right of way to people who are cutting in front of me as they are walking to their destinations. My wife can easily and quickly weave her way thru a crowd. She will stop to look back to see where I am behind her as I allow others to go in front of me.

Seeing all fans seated and excited about watching the game is the best scenario of a crowd for me. But of course, the time will come when everyone has to get up and go home. That event is what makes me uneasy.

As I reflect about my feelings whenever I am in a crowd, I realize my yielding to people in a crowd is ok as long as I can control my emotions. I do not need to be on any particular time schedule.  I do not have to be ahead of everyone.

Yielding to other people in life is a good thing.

Do I have to be the first in everything? Am I putting unnecessary stress by striving with other people.

Is it really that important for me to have everything my own way?

Burger King had an old commercial with their song “Have It Your Way”. Do you remember this old song? Refresh your memory by clicking on the below link.

Being in a “Full House” teaches us we do not always need to “Have It Our Way” Learn to yield and let others “Have it Their Way”.

Alone at Candlestick Park

I enjoyed my solitude at Candlestick Park. I arrived a couple of hours before the SF Giants would play ball and go exploring. I probably explored every nook and cranny at the Stick. There is not a single person in this photograph.

Solitude allowed me to examine the architecture and design of this great sports stadium. I would walk up and down each row. I would climb to the top and make my way down. It’s too bad digital cameras did not exist at this time. If I had a digital camera, I would have shot even more pictures.

We all need some time to examine without distractions. I would roam around the stadium searching for interesting shots. I found my creativity and love for stadium art. I applied my lessons from art college about photography as I was shooting. This was my time of discovery to find out my identity as a photographer.

In these quiet moments, I concentrated to shoot Candlestick Park with a different perspective than an ordinary sports arena. It was my goal to present Candlestick Park from all angles and to “show it off”. My photography marked my beginnings as a photographer. I was in my “happy place” when I was shooting photos at the Stick.

When I shot photos at Candlestick Park, I never thought one day it would be gone. I’m so glad I have these photographs which represent my beginning passions as a photographer.  These photos allow to remember the person I was to compare with the person I am today. It is a reminder of where I was and how I hopefully progressed.

My Lessons learned –

  • Seek your place for solitude to grow and reflect
  • Who am I today versus who was I once upon a time – Look at your old pictures to remind yourself who you were. Hope you can be proud of who you are today.

Photos are good reminders!

Picture Perfect Day at Candlestick Park for SF Giants Game

It was a great game with a full house on Fuji Photo Day at Candlestick Park on Saturday, May 14, 1988. The Giants defeated the Mets 3-2 with Mike Krukow getting the win. The weather was fantastic this day with sunshine and a light breeze.

I took this picture so long ago that there were no digital cameras at the time. I used a Canon 35mm camera and shot with Kodachrome transparency film and scanned it. I am glad the image and colors held up over the years on the 35mm transparency.

Candlestick Park was almost like a another home for me to hang out in. It was the first stadium where I could easily go and watch the SF Giants play ball. I did not have to plan way in advance (as I have to do now) to attend a baseball game. I could just walk up to the stadium and buy a ticket.

Candlestick Park welcomed all of us to be a part of the games whether the SF Giants or the 49ers. We all felt comfortable attending games with our family and friends. Yes, the stadium was not perfect and became a little worn and old looking as time progressed. But it was a place where we could relax and enjoy a sports event.

Did you ever go and visit somebody’s home where you did feel comfortable? Or maybe you encounter new people and they make you uncomfortable for some reason? They could be not very friendly, or their personality does not fit with ours.

It is an amicable trait when you meet someone who is genuinely makes you feel at ease and relaxed. This is a good characteristic we each could strive to have.

How can we make others relaxed and at ease?

  • Be relaxed and don’t exhibit stress
  • Smile so others will smile
  • Ask a few questions but listen more
  • Be genuinely interested and empathic to others

Candlestick Park was a the stadium where we could practice these things with each other while having fun watching baseball or football. It helped us relaxed. It made us smile. It allowed us to talk or be quiet. It allowed us to have a good time with our family and friends.

Can we make others comfortable just as Candlestick Park made us comfortable?

Photos remind us of our old feelings!

Candlestick Park Red Chair Flare

08 Wednesday Jan 2020

This Candlestick Park Red Chairs photograph was shot in the later afternoon before a night game. These chairs are the best memorabilia to remember the Stick! Maybe one day my wife will allow me to own an actual chair. I did buy an orange seat to use as a background for shooting my photo products.

Notice the light flare on the upper right corner. As per 2nd previous post where I mention about most of the time, a photographer will avoid this light flare in a picture. Well this is an example where I wanted the flare to show the light rays over the rows of chairs. The flare also reflects a nice glow on the bright red chairs.

A photograph should show off the best features of the subject. This light accentuates and highlights the good attributes for these chairs at the Stick. The natural flare also gave a great glow to these classic red stadium chairs.

Natural lighting is an important ingredient for a good picture.

My mother-in-law (who is only 99 years old) has a habit of wanting to save money and close the lights. If she gets up in the middle of the night, she will not turn on the light. She already does not have perfect sight, and light will illumine her path to prevent an accident. I have tried to help by putting night and motion lights to help her.

Just like my mother-in-law – we forget how important light is and how much we need it.

Practice shooting pictures with different degrees of natural lighting to see the reflection, flare, and glow in your results.

As always – my photos are not altered via software to give the “glow”.

Get the glow on in your photos!
