Safe Surrender Site?


Is this where I drop my baby off if I don't want it? What the hell?

Far @ Slim's


For those of you who do not know who Far is, I highly recommend you check them out. They were a band that I listened to quite a bit starting in highschool and throughout college. But they broke up as a band back in the late 90s. I was so excited to hear that after almost 10 years they are back together and playing a live show in San Francisco. I went with my girlfriend, roommate, and met up with several of my old buddies from the East Bay area. It was really a great show. And great to reconnect with a few old pals. I recommend you check out and support this awesome band at www.thebandfar.com.
Oh yeah, and click on the photo for a link to more pictures from the show.

Obama Art


Saw this while walking to Safeway the other day. A new addition right next to the Fillmore/Haight #22 bus stop. I thought it was pretty neat.

A quiet San Francisco last evening

Last night I went out with one of my buddies to shoot the Golden Gate Bridge at night. Unfortunately, the city of San Francisco is deciding to not light up the bridge at night (energy conservation, I think).
We ended up driving around in his convertible (in February!) as it was quite pleasant out and noticeably quiet. As we drove through the marina, Ghiradelli Square, Fisherman's Wharf, and The Embarcadero, all we saw were empty taxi's and empty public transit. Stores and restaurants looked abandoned at 8:30pm. And we only saw a handful of people walking along the waterfront. It was sort of eerie. Did we miss something last night? Was there a new episode of LOST on tv that everyone was at home watching?
Not to be discouraged by the Golden Gate Bridge mishap, we ventured out to treasure island and snapped some shots. It was quiet there too.. no wind.. just silence. A small crowd gathered the longer we were there.
