S.S. Jeremiah O’Brien
The Liberty Ship S.S. Jeremiah O’Brien as seen from a boat on the San Francisco Bay. I was heading up north to attend a Pirate Festival when I saw this ship from an angle I haven’t seen her from before and snapped this pic. And yes, that’s right, a Pirate Festival. Haaaargh!
I’ve been on [...]
Much needed day off
When I was working at Technorati on our massive re-design I worked for several weeks without a day off. I finally got to sneak out on a Sunday to check out Ocean Beach for a day.
Judah photo walk 6.3.07
Before I left San Francisco for warmer climates I took one last photo walk around my neighborhood.
My first trip to San Francisco
In the March of 2003 I took my first ever trip to San Francisco to go to a party my friend Joi Ito was throwing and to finally see what all the fuss was about. As soon as I got off the plane I hooked up with Chris Pirillo who was letting me crash at [...]
The Pursuit of Happyness
On a regular autumn day in San Francisco when I was on the N Judah line going home I came across this movie shoot in progress for “The Pursuit of Happyness” with Will Smith. It took them a month to build the fake Bart station in the park and a day of shooting for a [...]
Robert Scoble shows off his iPad circa 2003
My first night ever in San Francisco way back in 2003 I was staying at Chris Pirillo’s place and Robert Scoble joined us for some sushi and brought over his HP NEC Tablet PC for us to check out. It’s not surprisingly a very un-sexy piece of tech and it’s also no wonder they didn’t [...]
A day at Alcatraz
A few years ago I took a day off of work to finally go to Alcatraz and see what all the fuss was about. It was the single most depressing place I’ve ever been and I couldn’t wait to get the hell off that island. The interesting thing about it was I totally knew my [...]
Grayness
Took a little walk around the city today but the incoming clouds are not cooperating with what I wanted to shoot. I was really surprised at how few For Rent signs there are. I figured in this slump people would be fleeing the city in droves but in a 3 mile circuit I saw exactly [...]
Give it Light. Make it Bright.
I went for a walk around the Mission District in San Francisco today around sunset to unwind after a day of coding and took a few shots. It’s not my favorite part of town by any stretch but with the homeless problem here so out of hand there aren’t many places you can walk here [...]
Pervert at Large
*Contains colorful language commensurate with the tone of the post. If you have delicate sensibilities you should move on.
In October 2008 I went on a 3 day pub crawl with Zane Lamprey and 50 of his biggest alcoholic fans. On the second afternoon we did some beer chugging and absinthe drinking in a park in [...]
Rainy San Francisco
View from my temporary housing a few days ago. Pardon the Photography 101 treatment. I’m feeling nostalgic ;-)
Honk if you love Anonymous!
Since today is officially “Epic Fail Guy Day” I thought I’d pass with something I shot in San Francisco at one of the many protests by Anonymous at the Church of $cientology. You can see my whole set here.
“Free”
Saw this while wandering around by the big boob cathedral in SF next to Japan town. Not sure about the significance of “Free” light but there ya have it.
Peace
I shot this meandering around San Francisco’s Japan town in a desperate search for a Starbucks. Found one and I’m posting this from there at this very moment. This moment which will be long gone by the time you see this. Odd that.
Pure. Awesomeness.
Shot in the Mission in San Francisco yesterday on the hunt for St. Francis for lunch.
