San Francisco Walk

August 6, 2011

A long walk in San Francisco: Embarcadero to Fort Mason to Union Street… A young man stopped me on the Embarcadero. “I’m doing research on working life, for young people aged 18-22 who haven’t known success. What one piece of advice would you give them?” I kept my answer short.

From Hyde down Pine Street to the Joyent offices at 345 California. There’s always something to photograph in this city.

San Francisco Cable Car

July 20, 2011

I hadn’t been on the cable cars in more than 20 years, but the California Street line happened to be my most efficient route between two points yesterday. So I learned that you’re allowed to hang off the side, as long as you stand on the runner board and don’t block people getting on and [...]

The Blue Angels Over San Francisco

October 11, 2010

So the Blue Angels were here for Fleet Week. I wasn’t well enough to cope with the crowds and transportation hassles to get to a paid seat where we could see all the action, but there was quite a lot to be seen from my own balcony and rooftop and then (Sunday) from the Embarcadero [...]

SFGMC: Rockaria

October 10, 2010

I snuck footage at the San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus Rockaria concert a while ago – couldn’t resist, particularly because I was entranced by the deaf interpretation performed by Ethan Pope (above, during a Michael Jackson medley). Of course, there were plenty of crowd-pleasers like Material Girl: Mickey: Viva la Vida: Venus: And, in support [...]

Sept 11 Walk in San Francisco

September 20, 2010

I thought the best way to commemorate Sept 11 was to prove the terrorists haven’t won, by doing something I would have done on any other beautiful, sunny Saturday. So I went for a walk (plus two tram rides) in my beautiful new hometown.

In the Garden

August 1, 2010

I spent yesterday afternoon in John & Jeffrey’s lovely, lush San Francisco garden, experimenting with the camera in my new iPhone 4. I’d say the results speak for themselves; I don’t think I’ll bother carrying around my old digital still camera anymore. Most of these were taken as macro-range closeups and further cropped afterwards. I [...]

Things to Love About San Francisco

July 13, 2010

THIS is the lobby of my ENT doctor’s building. Makes a medical visit feel like raiding an Aztec tomb! And what could one expect to find in the garage?

SFGMC: Rutter’s Magnificat

June 14, 2010

Performed in June, 2010, by the San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus and the San Francisco Girls Chorus Alumnae, accompanied by the Community Women’s Orchestra. Sorry for the shaky camera work, but the sound quality is surprisingly good on this little Flip cam. I hope this embedded video runs through the entire playlist of seven movements [...]

Home Update

May 30, 2010

A touch of Texas: Bob the dangerous weapon now lives with me, at least until Ross returns to live in the US (whenever or if ever that may be). In the “small things make me happy” department, my fridge now sports some cards bought in New Orleans, a Simon Drew card sent by my stepmum, [...]

Home Update

April 20, 2010

This wall of my bedroom is pretty much done, with a cheap-but-capacious dresser from Ikea, Elfquest prints, decorative bark balls bought on the street in Porto Alegre, and the etched mirror bought at Tribal Route during my recent visit to Mumbai. The merino sheep is from last summer’s trip to New Zealand, but he’d been [...]
