SF Zombie Swarm Hits the Streets

At approximately 4pm yesterday afternoon, zombies once again took to the streets of San Francisco to “…rouse their brethren from the dusky sleep and make their presence known in the city of San Francisco.”
The semi-regular San Francisco Zombie Swarm has become a tradition in the City in recent years. Ever insistent that they are [...]

Warhol-o-rific

A week ago, on Valentines Day, the Warhol Live exhibit opened at the DeYoung Museum in Golden Gate Park. And, in the spirit of everyone’s favorite Hallmark Holiday, it was easy to see how one could become instantly smitten with the innovative layout and sheer size of the traveling tribute to all things Andy Warhol.
The [...]

San Francisco is Filled with Inaugural Hope…Sort Of

So, the assignment today was ‘Signs of Hope’ - a bit cheesy, we agree, but the amount of electricity in the air here in San Francisco this inaugural weekend is truly palpable, and we wanted to catch it on film (cf card) if we could. So, we struck out yesterday on a trek around the [...]

San Francisco Botanical Gardens Prove a Worthwhile Outing

At some point, I may have to accept that there’s just no way that I’ll ever successfully see everything there is to see in massive Golden Gate Park. Friends who have lived here much longer than I have tell me that they’ve still never seen the polo fields, or the bison, or the windmill. I’m [...]

A Day in SF Without a Protest…

…is like a day without sunshine. Except, we have a lot of days without sunshine, so that analogy doesn’t really work in this instance.  Regardless…
At Market and Powell today, there was a gathering held protesting the Israeli government’s actions in the current conflict between Palestine and Israel. The protest drew approximately 35 people at its [...]

I Missed the KFOG Concert. Sounds Like I Made the Right Choice.

5 reasons why I think it was a good thing that I ended up missing the KFOG ‘Kaboom’ concert:

Los Lobos headlined. Oh sorry, I had to answer the phone, 1982 was calling, and wanted to know why Los Lobos sucked so much. In 1982.
It screws up traffic. According to local sources, the whole thing makes [...]

Muir Woods. Bomb-ba-laya.

So, took a trip to Muir Woods last weekend, the first since I arrived here in the Barbary Coast, and wasn’t disappointed (well, maybe a little with the parking situation, but let’s not quibble over details).
Pics to follow once I stop being lazy and watching John Adams on HBO every spare moment.

The Baker Beach Shoot

I promise…I’ll finish the processing on these exposures soon…

My Motorcycle is Louder Than Yours. Thus, I Obviously Have the Larger Penis.

The sad, attention-hungry souls who ride their modified motorcycles up and down the Embarcadero and its arteries stimulate a range of emotions in me. Obviously based on my setup to this topic, the first and most prominent is a sense of pity and sympathy for the obvious longing that these socially awkward middle-aged men feel. [...]

The Yerba Buena Shoot

Last week, I did something I’ve been wanting to do since I arrived in San Francisco: I took my camera, my brand new tripod (a Bogen-Manfrotto 055XPROB for my fellow camera geeks) and a warm jacket and headed to Yerba Buena Island to shoot some pics of the City at Sunset.
Yerba Buena is uniquely positioned [...]
