Escape From Roseville!!
I knew it was going to be a beautiful weekend, and I’m normally shooting weddings on weekends, so when I get the chance to go back and visit my old stomping ground, San Francisco, with my wife, we jump at the chance. Oh, and my wife loves the shopping in Union Square, they have everything there, clothes, shoes, jewelery…all of my money too! LOL!
We had lunch at the top of Macys at the Cheese Cake Factory. When you are through waiting almost an hour for a table, and finish up on one of their spectacular meals you have to work it off somehow. I told her to go shopping in Macys and I gave myself a 30 minute assignment to just capture a little of San Francisco right across the street at the Union Square Park. Each person has there own story, you’ll see street poor, millionaires, and cops sitting in their car afraid at times to get out because there are so many crazies out there. I captured just a small part of the city, a city that is so diverse with people as it is with all of the cultures too. Look at the faces and you will see what I mean. These are faces that visit San Francisco from all over the world, some are just visitors and others are residents. Its people watching at its best. The photo here is quite gripping as you see this poor homeless woman walking and carrying all of her possessions all in black except for her red scarf, the young couple in the background watching her walk by expresses it all. There is no sound with the 64 images, I wanted the viewer to just watch and take it all in.

Very Cool!! I love San Francisco – it’s a great city to take pics in. So much to see and capture. It looks like you had a great time. Did you make it to anywhere else besides Union Square?
Love the silent slideshow – excellent way to focus attention on the pictures.My favorite was the B&W with the color flag.
Wish our day was that fun.Spent most of it in Home Depot as they couldnt color match the paint they gave us when we started painting! So we finally got the right color and will be finishing it up soon. One room to go, complete the ceiling, and then I need to install and touch up the crown moulding. Once that’s done we’ll be fiunished for a while. They we go to WPPI soon! Can’t wait!

Two ships in the night! I went to Stinson Beach and then had dinner in the city last night. Was it not the warmest March day ever?
Awesome photos, I took a few myself but they pale in comparison. Hope this weather lasts!

:goodjob: San Francisco is so fun and you caught it in photos. Thank you for sharing – it makes me want to go for a visit soon. I keep saying I am not going beack (traffic) but it is hard to stay away. Especially when the weather is so nice. I really like the moving cable car photo and the ballons especially the balloon with the SF scene on it. Thanks again.!!
You multi task too… Dawn and I love San Francisco. I love sitting in Union Square with a latte and watch the people go by.
Great subjects, great angles and great post processing! Nice to have a weekend off to spend with the family. I’m not looking forward to the busy season just yet!!
