Week: 8/52 Neighborhood: Financial District Image Title: Down the Street Once again, I’m a bit late with this post.  Last week I met up with Julie (also known as tangobaby on Flickr) for a lunch photowalk.  She lead the way through the streets to see the remaining walrus statues and up to the top floor […]

Week: 7/52 Neighborhood: Financial District Image Title: The Lady in Red I’m a bit late with this weeks picture, but better late then never, right? As I wandered down Market street, I made a stop at this escalator that headed down to the Embarcadero BART station.  I spent quite a bit of time sitting there […]

Week: 6/52 Neighborhood: Financial District Image Title: Sign of Our Times Again, I’m struggling to get out and take pictures due to long hours at work.  I’m thinking about changing the project up a bit where I won’t restrict myself to the same neighborhood 4 weeks straight, however, at this point, I’m sticking with the […]

Meet Seth. On my way home, Seth was sitting on the sidewalk asking for change from anyone who walked by.  Still 2-3 paces away from Seth, he half heartedly asked, “Spare any change?”  I slowed down and offered him $1 for his portrait.  Without changing his facial expression, he quickly agreed. After taking Seth’s picture […]

Week: 5/52 Neighborhood: Financial District Image Title: The Twilight Zone I was planning on writing up a seperate post about the photowalk I went on at the beginning of the week, but my extra time these days has been extremely limited.  The photowalk was a great time and I met a few new San Francisco […]

Week: 4/52 Neighborhood: North Beach Image Title: Robot Lovers III I realize I just posted a picture of similar robots, but I made another visit to Z. Cioccolato and thought it would work well for this project.  After all, how can you not look at this picture and not say, “Ahhhh…” right? You can follow […]

Week: 3/52 – Neighborhood: North Beach – Title: Alone on the Park Bench Okay, I got a bit behind.  I had a slight cold last week which kept me from doing anything other than eat, work and sleep.  But, I had a chance to wander around North Beach a bit today, so here is my […]

Week: 2/52 – Neighborhood: North Beach – Title: Caffe Triste I did not get much time out with the camera this week. To be accurate, I only got out one evening and even then, I was only out for about an hour, so I tried to make the most of it. You can follow everyone’s […]

Meet Danny. While out shooting in North Beach for My Surrounding Neighborhoods project, I came across a very kind man playing the harmonica (didn’t catch his name) asking for change at the corner of Columbus and Green.  As I walked by, we made eye contact and he stopped playing in order to chat with me.  […]

Week: 1/52 – Neighborhood: North Beach – Title: Another Night, Another Meal I met up with Ricky Montalvo to kick off my 2009 52 Week Project: My Surrounding Neighborhoods.  We walked up and down Columbus and all around the Broadway/Columbus area.  It was a great first outing and I’m really looking forward to the next […]

Meet David. I met up with Rick to kick off my 52 Week Project for 2009: My Surrounding Neighborhoods in North Beach. While Rick and I were getting acquainted, David approached us asking for change.  I explained to him about my dollar portrait project and he was happy to pose, with the a dollar in […]

A few months ago, I expressed interest in doing a photography project in 2009 and asked if anyone would be interested in joining in with a My World/Your World type of project. Sure enough, there was interest and I have been collaborating with a few individuals over the past month or so. For 2009, we […]
