I Love San Francisco!

Sat, 13 Mar 2010 23:22:04 +0000

I know I’ve said it before but I LOVE San Francisco.

I take many leisurely strolls throughout SF always trying to pick a new way to explore between destinations. I enjoy these walks because it gives me a chance to try a new approach to my photography. I challenge myself to not dismiss anything as plain or not worthy. Sometimes the means of seeing are a Holga, an all manual 35 mm camera or simply my handy iPhone.

How do you challenge yourself to see the otherwise unseen in your daily life? Please tell me in the comment area below.

Here are a few of this week’s findings.

Enjoy!

Ah San Francisco! What a great city. So diverse, with it’s many pockets of neighborhoods. It’s always been one of my favorite cities, and I truly enjoy walking around and discovering new sights. Do you have a San Francisco spot I should check out? Let me know in the comments and possibly I will post some images from it here!!

I am in San Francisco often, & hope to bring you bits and pieces of it here. Images will be taken with different mediums, many times with the iPhone. And on that note images taken while lunching in Yerba Buena Gardens.

If you have never been I totally recommend popping into Samovar tea lounge. They don’t just serve tea the food is delicious!

As you can see the view to die for! Score! Perfect afternoon spot!!!

Ok not even close. However when you are suddenly inspired it’s not a bad alternative and it makes calls most of the time. Hey Apple -ATT can you please fix the dropped calls issue. It’s bad especially when it drops right as I’m driving past Apple headquarters in Cupertino , CA. But that is a post all of it’s own.

So anyways if you follow my blog/twitter/facebook you know how much I hate cold & rain. But as much as I hate it I love it! Not the cold, I still hate the cold. I love the beautiful filtered light on overcast days, the reflections found after a hard rain when everything is slick and the amazing intricate shapes raindrops leave on windows causing an altered reality as you sit on a cold train heading to an even colder city: San Francisco, CA.

Yes I know with high’s in the mid 50′s and a low of 32 I shouldn’t complain, it could be worse. However this California girl does not like the cold. If I had it my way it would be low 90′s every day & night all year round!!! If you agree with me wave your hands in the air -to keep the circulation going in this cold.

But anyways…. This is how I tried to stay warm last night! Let’s ignore the fact that I almost smoked the mutt and I out of my house. (the chimney vent thingie was closed- oops)How do you survive this Artic cold weather?
