When I was little my friend's dad had a sunroof and would let us do this. Joy.

This is the infamous winter drug tent of 6th Street.  Located half a block down a dead end of Jessie, this spacious Coleman 6-man tent provided many a dope fiend a warm dry place to relax and blow some smack.  Take a closer look:

Now that spring has sprung it has been packed up for next season.

Every year, on the first Saturday in October, San Francisco’s fishing fleet is blessed by the Fishermen’s and Seamen’s Memorial Chapel. This event marks the beginning of the year’s crab season. The chapel was built to honor the 3 generations of fisherman that have plied these waters. The beautiful stained glass window was donated by The Woman’s Propeller Club

I can't believe I waited this long to get the hipstamatic app for the Iphone. It's definitely the best (and funnest) camera app out there. Can't beat a toy camera that runs on your phone for 2 bucks.

The Doggie Diner Dog Heads hosting a fundraising/opening event at the 1AM Gallery (6th and Howard) to restore Defenestration. Defenestration is a sculpture encompassing the vacant Hugo Hotel across the street created by Brian Goggin in 1997. from the Operation Restore Defenestration Website: This multi-disciplinary sculptural mural involves seemingly animated furniture; tables, chairs, lamps, grandfather clocks, a refrigerator, and couches, their bodies bent like centipedes, fastened to the walls and window-sills, their insect-like legs seeming to grasp the surfaces. Against society's expectations, these everyday objects flood out of windows like escapees, out onto available ledges, up and down the walls, onto the fire escapes and off the roof. "DEFENESTRATION" was created by Brian Goggin with the help of over 100 volunteers. The concept of "DEFENESTRATION", a word literally meaning "to throw out of a window," is embodied by both the site and staging of this installation. Located at the corner of Sixth and Howard Streets in San Francisco in an abandoned four-story tenement building, the site is part of a neighborhood that historically has faced economic challenges and has often endured the stigma of skid row status. Reflecting the harsh experience of many members of the community, the furniture is of the streets, cast-off and unappreciated. The simple, unpretentious beauty and humanity of these downtrodden objects is reawakened through the action of the piece. The act of "throwing out" becomes an uplifting gesture of release, inviting reflection on the spirit of the people we live with, the objects we encounter, and the places in which we live. The ground level has served as a rotating gallery for the vibrant artwork of street muralists. This unconventional gallery, along with the “Defenestration” sculpture, has been a cultural draw to the neighborhood.

One of my ongoing projects is to capture the numerous phoenixes that grace the fair city of San Francisco.  As you may or may not know, the phoenix is the official bird of SF, being such, they find their way into architecture, graffiti, and even the city seal.  You can see my ever growing collection here.
