Blue-Blooded Fire Hydrant
San Francisco fire hydrants are color-coded by where their water comes from. A water tank atop Nob Hill is the source for blue hydrants, according to Barnard Winn's "San Francisco Underfoot."

Graffiti - is it art?
Not a big fan of graffiti, actually, but I like the hypnotic quality of this close-up view.

Solitary Splendor
Magic hour in San Francisco. I'm shooting from a 12th floor SOMA penthouse, looking down at the semi-industrial part of town. Amidst the graffiti d warehouses, storage units & anonymous high-rise buildings St. Joseph's Cathedral glows like a beacon. But at ground level, St. Joseph's is empty and abandoned. Surrounded by a chain-link fence with ferocious No Trespassing warnings. Broken windows. The exact opposite of the original glory you see from the sky.
