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 [...]

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 [...]

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…

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 [...]

Something’s In the Air…

…and it’s MacWorld 2008 at the Moscone Center.
Seems like the entire tech community has descended on The City to see Steve-O present the latest in Apple wizardry, complete with a rather strange finale in a song by none other than Randy Newman.
The ‘real’ Steve Jobs didn’t disappoint the hordes of Apple fans in attendance at [...]

Frank Chu Gets Down

So, out shopping and generally enjoying the holiday merriment today, and ran into Frank Chu (shocker). I introduced him to Christine and moved on with our Union-Squarish activities. As we were coming back and hit Market though, we ran into what appeared to be an impromptu Solid Gold dance session on the street, with 40 [...]

Not the Best Night I’ve Spent in San Francisco….

The Engadget reader party was definitely not the highlight of my week, but I suppose it’s a little unfair to criticize it since it was a free, open to the public event. But that said, I found myself standing at the end of a considerably long line to get into a building that was on [...]
