Haight St.

On our second day in San Francisco we got up early and headed down to Haight St. I had wanted

to see this area for years. I'm a deadhead. We had some monster breakfast burritos then spent the rest of our time walking around taking photos. Our schedule only allowed a few hours here so I'm hoping to spend more time in this area if we visit again.



amoeba music

We stopped in Amoeba Music when we were in San Francisco. It's located on Haight St. As soon

as we walked in I knew we would be there awhile. It's a record collector's paradise! I found a few to add to my collection.

By was the word over at words to shoot by this week. It was our last word of the year.

I'm glad I was asked to be apart of such an inspiring project.

These three shots were taken '"by"' the ocean at Hidden Beach in N. Cali. More photos from that area coming soon.

Hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving!

san francisco: part two

This is part two of our first day in San Francisco. After hitting Fisherman's Wharf we walked

through Chinatown and North Beach. I was really excited to get to go to Cafe Trieste and see where the screenplay to my favorite movie The Godfather was written. Pretty cool.

After some good food and a stop at The Beat Museum we headed back to the hotel to crash.

I had a wonderful hot shower that night with the bathroom window open.

The bathroom had an amazing smell of oranges and ocean breeze. While I washed my hair I got to watch the lights of San Francisco. It was the best shower...ever.

walk

Walk was the word over at words to shoot by this week.

These were all taken on my walk around Haight-Ashbury St. in July.

More pictures from my trip are coming soon.



san francisco: part one

Our first day in San Francisco we walked from our hotel in North Beach to Fisherman's Wharf.

Highlights from our visit included...the best ever fish-n-chips and crab chowder on the pier, the cool ocean breeze, lots of fun at Musee Mecanique, photobooth pictures, hearing the cable cars bell ring, cotton candy,

seeing two sea lions, and hearing "Laffing Sal" laugh her ass off.

I remember my Grandma Shelby laughing at her at our local fair when I was a kid.

I kept pinching myself that whole day. I just couldn't believe I was finally in San Francisco.

musée mécanique

The above photos that I took at Musée Mécanique in San Francisco were featured as the One Word

pic of the day on the always inspiring Shutter Sisters blog. Pretty cool! The word of the month is YOU.
Pop on over to the flickr group and join in on the project.

I was so excited to find a working photobooth in San Francisco. Before we left on our trip I checked

the photobooth.net  website for any photobooths along the way and found two in San Fran. Out of all the little things I got on the trip these photo strips were my favorite souvenirs. Totally worth $3 each!

I have lots of photos from San Francisco coming soon!
