My Book

San Francisco -- a cabby's view by Wendell Shinn | BOOK INFO

How To Freak Out A Cab Driver

Did You Know...

Much of the San Francisco Bay Area is a National Park? I DID know it was a National Treasure but didn't know it had that designation until I saw this wonderful program on KQED.org/Quest and what it took to get it to be a National Park within the Urban area. How convenient, eh? Hopefully we who live here will remember and those of you who visit us will be aware so as not to miss any of the available attractions.

Conservatory of Flowers Shoot

So I have a free Monday and decide to go shoot the special exhibit at the Conservatory of Flowers in Golden Gate Park. I guess I never went there on a Monday before...they were CLOSED! So I shot what was there which included a didgerido player, a CNet team trying to get some new gadget to work (I was gratifiyed..not just me! lol), Lots of flowers, birds & bees :~), a Mom & 2 cute kids, a real nice lady named Roschele in the new snack stand there and last but certainly not least...CARL & trumpet!

OH! BTW! GROUPON!

If you live in one of these cities, you should GROUPON!

Ocean Beach Sunset

Winter months here on the edge of the Western World produce some of the richest sunsets and here's some shots from December 7, 2009. Kite Surfing emerges... Cheers and the best of the Season to All.

My Book Has Arrived!

After 36 years of being asked...Here's My Book! Of course it's a picture book of a 'Once Over' handheld tour. Hopefully it will bring back fond memories or encourage a return trip soon! Actually, there is an upside for us in that distilling the 110 photos in this book there were so many more that show up with amazing new directions and slants on capturing the mystique that is San Francisco. On the drawing board are titles like "Oddballs & Reflections" or "The Hoods of the Hills" or "The Alleys of San Francisco". Stay tuned here for updates and new releases.
