Summer in the city
It’s not necessary for me to have any particular destination in mind when I visit San Francisco in the summer. It’s often enough to just wander around, keeping my eyes open. I’m always sure to find something that appeals to my camera. I shot most of these images with my Fujifilm point-and-shoot, which is perfect for this sort of street […]
Mission glass
When I visited Mission Dolores (San Francisco de Asis) last August, it was an amazing feeling to stand in the original 18th century mission chapel. But eventually I left the old church and entered the newer basilica (built in 1918). There I found a series of beautiful stained glass windows depicting the original 21 California missions. I managed to photograph […]
More mission glass
Here are the remainder of the stained glass windows I photographed at San Francisco’s Mission Dolores (San Francisco de Asis) last August. I’ve also included two pieces in honor of Father Junipero Serra (1713-1784) and Father Francisco Palou (1723-1789).

Things may get a bit irregular again this week, as I’m in the process of relocating; but I’d like to start out with something a lot more cheerful than an old, deserted farmhouse! These are some photos I shot […]

Scenes from the Garden
I always enjoy looking back at my visits to the Botanical Garden in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park. The garden is large enough that I’m never sure if I’ve missed something; and since the only time I manage to get there is during August, I can only imagine what it must be like during the springtime. These images are from […]
In old North Beach
I’m not exactly sure why it is that I love San Francisco so much; although my dad was born and grew up in nearby Richmond, I’ve never lived or even spent all that much time in the City. It wasn’t until 2016 that I began exploring San Francisco in my own way, finding my way around the streets and seeing […]
Victorian appointments
Today I’m sharing more pictures from my visit to the Haas-Lillienthal house in San Francisco’s Pacific Heights neighborhood. I know I’m not the only one fascinated by the beautiful details of Victorian houses. Our tour guide took a few minutes to explain gingerbread trim and shingles on the building’s exterior, and later ushered us inside to admire the woodwork, stained […]
