Yellow Truck Blue Wall

At Fringales

Fringale restaurant is two doors away from where I work. I saw this woman as I was leaving work and was so taken with how she looked against Fringale's yellow wall that I actually asked permission to take her picture. This is unusual for me because normally I prefer the candidness of stealth photography. As you see, she consented. Fringale's wall will appear again. It's very photogenic.

In what sense? Hmmmm.

The Street Where I Live

Carl is a short street running from Clayton to Arguello. My place is on the top floor of the condos on the left. It faces north across Golden Gate Park to that bridge to Wolfback Ridge and the Marin Headlands in the distance.

One of San Francisco's gorgeous hidden neighborhoods.

There Is Nothing Wrong in This Whole Wide World

In November of 2004 artist Chris Cobb persuaded the owners of Adobe Bookshop in the Mission to let him arrange all the books in the store by color. He called his exhibit There Is Nothing Wrong in This Whole Wide World. A customer seems to be quite at home in this colorful environment.

Hearts of San Francisco

"These hearts were part of a project aimed at nurturing artistic expression in San Francisco while also helping to raise money for the San Francisco General Hospital Foundation. The goal was to raise one million dollars for the Foundation whose purpose is to fund projects that will enhance patient care and comfort at San Francisco General Hospital.
The first two hearts were unveiled on Valentine's Day, 2004, and since then 130 artists have transformed 5-foot heart sculptures into unique works of art. When completed they were seen in various public locales throughout San Francisco, including parks, sidewalks, street corners, and businesses. Each heart was supported by a sponsor. Selected hearts were be auctioned off in early November at an event benefiting San Francisco General Hospital Medical Center." ...Martha Bakerjian, About.com
It's too bad they didn't leave the hearts on site throughout the city. They were wonderful.
