I left my heart in San Francisco. Or did I?

Some classic shots of the Golden Gate Bridge and of the City from the said Golden Gate Bridge.

Last stop: mini cable car

One of the very last things I did in San Francisco before leaving the Bay and moving to the Denver Metro Area was this photo shoot.

Black & White Mission

It was a black & white kind of mission in San Francisco’s Mission District last week.

Jesus H. Christ El Niño AGAIN?!

The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence were out again today, showing off their best outfits at Golden Gate Park for the 37th anniversary of their famous Easter party.

Belgium is tiny and the only reason Brussels ever gets to be in the news is because of the European Union. So when I received dozens of emails, text messages and phone calls when I woke up this morning, it hit me right in the heart.

Framed

Sutro Tower was particularly beautiful tonight. The amazing sunset helped for sure…

Fat Tuesday is pretty heavy

Fort Point

Mount Davidson Park: the high peak of SF

Mount Davidson used to be a City-owned park. Now, the section where the cross is doesn’t belong to the City anymore because of it’s religious ties. Pretty logical I suppose.

BART who?

For those who don’t live in the Bay Area, you’ll most likely think of Bart Simpson. For the rest of us, it’s a main public transit service connecting mainly the East Bay to San Francisco and the Peninsula.
