Day 113: April 23, 2014: North Beach and Cathedral Hill

Just a lil’ walkabout today from North Beach over to Van Ness to check on the destruction at the Cathedral Hill Hotel.  Not too much remained.

Day 111: April 21, 2014: Market Street

You know the one, that bright orange Milan car. You hear it coming from blocks away, rattling up Market Street. Have you ever ridden it? I haven’t but always wonder if it’s as loud inside as it is from the street.

I see this car pretty much every time I’m on Market Street. I had kind of just assumed that this was because it’s too loud to miss, but it turns out that there are actually somewhere around 10 of these cars in the Muni fleet, with several orange ones. Orange is a good color for this city. 🙂

(Significantly overexposed shot on that same roll of long-expired and heat treated Fuji Velvia 50 – Slides don’t tend to hold up well with overexposure, in my experience, so I can only guess that the age has made it a bit less sensitive to light.)

Day 110: April 20, 2014: Lower Haight

Morning wanders in the Lower Haight. I’m not 100% sure what I was doing here at the time, but the light was nice, and the crowds were gathering to catch a bus out to Golden Gate Park.

I notice that Greenburgers is another business gone between the time that I took the photo and the time that I post it.

Day 108: April 18, 2014: The Mission

Wandering the Mission with some Fuji Velvia 50 of unknown history. Most likely it’s at least 10 years expired and probably sat through some 100˚F+ weather in it’s time. I only had one roll, so the lessons I learn are relatively useless, but it seems to underexpose heavily and come out almost entirely pink.  Good for sunsets, not much good for most other things without some heavy color correction.

Day 106: April 16, 2014: Forest Knolls, SF

The streets of San Francisco. Today, yesterday, or 1959. The more things change, the more things stay the same.
