Have you ever noticed this quaint little church in the San Francisco’s SOMA district? It is close to the Metreon and seems completely out of place amidst all the office buildings, but there is something proud and charming about the way it seems to stand … Read More →

Gates of Paradise
A few months ago I posted a photo of Rodin’s Gates of Hell, so I thought I would keep the delicate balance with a picture of Ghiberti’s Gates of Paradise. Lorenzo Ghiberti condensed the Old Testament into ten panels to produce one of the defining … Read More →
Infrared Grace
Not so long ago, I decided to send out my beloved Nikki (Nikon D90 given to me by my wife as an engagement gift) to get modified to only capture infrared light. This decision caused me much distress, but my curiosity won out in the … Read More →
San Francisco Sunset
This past weekend I met up with my BFF and his family in Tilden Park to ride the miniature steam train. We used the kids as an excuse, but it was really us who wanted to ride the little choo choo that could. On the … Read More →
Cathedral of Saint Mary of the Assumption
This is one of the most interesting Cathedrals I have found in the Bay Area. It sits on top of a hill in San Francisco and overlooks the city. One of my favorite things about this Cathedral is it’s ceiling. It is intricate and geometric … Read More →
The Mega-mind
I took this photo at San Francisco’s Westfield Mall a while ago. I remember noticing how people seemed to just dredge through the place going from one shop to the other in a mechanical way. I was starting to get weirded out, so I took … Read More →
Where Have All the Thespians Gone?
Yes, thespians … the dying breed of theater geeks that entertain the masses. We make fun of them during high school, but then we gladly accept them as idols when they pretend to be vampires on the big screen. I just wanted to let you … Read More →
Habitat
It seems the good folks over at the San Francisco Academy of Science understand that space exploration can be so uncomfortable. Why else would they have built such a convenient space habitat system? It features things you would need while sailing through deep space: a … Read More →
I Ate Your Doggie
It’s hard being the most awesome extinct predator the world has ever seen. People are constantly trying to clone your DNA and build a small theme park around you. Then they have the nerve to complain that you ate their loved ones … sheesh.
Grace Cathedral
I used to live in San Francisco many years ago, but I never really took advantage of it. I mainly spent my time working and planning my next prank on a particularly patient flat mate*, so I never got out to see the many unique … Read More →
Pondering the Imponderable – The Thinker
I was in San Francisco late one night when I wondered up to the Legion of Honor hoping I could find some way to get in. I was shocked to find someone had cracked their tight security and managed to get into the courtyard. What … Read More →
Hive
I took this photo from an awesome room on the 10th floor of the Intercontinental Hotel in San Francisco. Lady fortune has smiled down upon us and we got a free upgrade to a suite which had a great view of the city. I found … Read More →
Pod
(Click on Photo to Buy Prints) If you were the San Francisco Academy of Science, what would you like to have on your roof? A space-age, rolling green pasture dotted with portholes, perhaps? It certainly targets your key demographics: cows, pirates and space aliens … … Read More →
Golden Gate Goodness
I wanted to get a picture of the iconic Golden Gate Bridge at night to show off it’s sheer sexiness, so one night my friend and I drove out to the city. It was well past midnight when we parked next to a dark construction … Read More →
Legion of Honor
I just got back from two weeks of exhausting travel through China and I am pretty sure that I am REM-ing as I type this with one eye open and the other shut … and drooping a little … I took this picture of San … Read More →
Snow Covered SF
In late February the weather man was talking crazy about how it was going to snow in San Francisco. I was like, “This is madness”, and the weather man was like, “This is Sparta!”. Even though I didn’t believe him, I could not pass up … Read More →
The Magic Carpet
It is interesting how most of our day is spent perceiving the world from the vantage point afforded to us by our particular height. From my lofty stance of 5 foot-meh, I tend to focus my attention on things that are within a 15 degree … Read More →
The Consolation Prize
Sometimes I find myself standing at some fantastic vantage point with a great photo opportunity in front of me and I have no idea how to capture it in a way that would do it justice. This was the case a few weeks ago when … Read More →
The Side Door to Olympus
San Francisco’s Palace of Fine Arts is another one of those places that seems to live within its own time bubble. Each step you take towards the entrance sends you back 100 years and by the time you reach the center, you are firmly in … Read More →
The Golden Gate Crisis
Buy Print | Licensing | Google+ | Facebook I took this photo about a year ago when a friend and I were exploring the path at the end of Crissy Fields. I added the light bleed in post production to give it a dramatic effect.
