    Back at Vesuvio…

    Here’s another image of the bar keep at Vesuvio trying to keep everybody happy. Check back monday/tuesday as “SantaCon 2006 – San Francisco” should be developed and ready. Well – i know for a fact that it’s developed as i’ve left it all hanging from the shower curtain rod. There a lot of stuff, hopefully…

  • Specs – North Beach

    Specs – North Beach

    Saturday night – fast-forward about 1 hour. Specs is a bar in North Beach with a lot of (interesting) history.

(although a couple of hours later i got totally soaked) For some reason all of north beach was deserted Sunday morning… it may have been the fact that daylight savings went into effect in the…

  • Weeping Willow – Washington Square Park

    Weeping Willow – Washington Square Park

    Shaking in the wind this tree looks like it’s made of cotton. Many new digital cameras have a built in filter to block infrared light. Seems that the new CCDs/CMOS sensors are super-sensitive to IR. Without a filter there to block the unnecessary IR your color pictures look strung out (sort of like those ones…
