Detail on one of the few surviving San Francisco movie palaces, the Clay Theater on Fillmore.

Give me some good rooftop access and I’m such a happy person. Taken today from a rooftop on Dolores.

In honor of St. Patricks’ Day, a shout out to one of my favorite local bands, Culann’s Hounds. I took this photo (and more here) last year when they played at the Great American Music Hall and around the city.

This year they’re in LA at Molly Malone’s for St. Patrick’s Day, so if you live in LA, check ‘em out tonight.

I never saw the movie Sin City, but I sure have a lot of fun with the Lightroom preset of the same name. As seen on Polk Street yesterday.

One of my favorite “ghost signs,” on Larkin Street.

The quince and cherry trees are starting to blossom again in Golden Gate Park. This is in front of the Japanese Tea Garden.

On Natoma Street. Gone but not forgotten.

I’m really loving the intense color and burst of motion here. Underthewaves has a way of creating really concentrated images with captivating colors. She also creates wonderful Lightroom presets that she generously makes available for download via her flickr photostream.

Again, thanks to all who are contributing to the Fickr pool and here’s the link to viewing a slideshow of the current images.

Taco Bell and schoolmates on the ride home. I told the kid that he was cute and his friends cracked up laughing.

Well, maybe not quite so new. The top of the New Mission Cinema marquee.
