San Francisco 2012

Home Is Where The Bay Is

Happy Sunday everyone! I finally have SOME time to complete a few posts I've been lagging on. My iPhone is running out of space and I finally blew off some cob webs off the DSLR and got me shooting proper once again. I'm telling ya...these new iPhones and their in-phone photo editing apps can really make a photographer lazy...I would snap all day with my DSLR, lug it around on trips, ragers, even just to go eat at a restaurant. I was constantly taking pictures, edit when I get home and like clockwork got them onto my blog.

I'm trying to ween myself off of this iPhone but it's tempting when you got this kind of quality and convenience at your fingertips.

Anyways, here's my iPhone pics from San Francisco on our second trip with Hanae.

We drove up to SF and stayed for only a night and a half.

I haven't been up here since summer 2008 when I was making a stop over going to Japan. I was actually stranded at SFO because I didn't have my visa to enter Japan but luckily my uncle lives up in the bay so I was able to get everything settled in a few days. Rode the BART, walked around Downtown, took the cable cars to get around...and all this made me realize how beautiful the city because we're so car/freeway-dependent in LA that we never get to actually "FEEL" this city. Well, I don't think many people wanna "feel" LA in the first place...who wants to feel grungy and ghetto?

San Francisco reflects its population. Inviting.

People are so helpful and approachable out there. No one mean-mugged us in any way, people helped us find our way around, definitely a tourist friendly city.

The cable car system is my favorite part of getting around. Such a convenient way of getting from downtown to Fisherman's Wharf.

I constantly smelled pizza so it's convenient when you spot a pizzeria (which was every other store) just hop right off the cable car and get your smash on knock a few cold ones back and continue your adventure at Fisherman's Wharf with some clam chowder.

Downtown is full of sights and sounds of city life. Something jazzy about the architecture, night lights illuminating people on the sidewalk, and street performers at every street corner.

SF has potential to be our new home in the future...now I know what Tony was singing about
