South Park – South of Market St.
1920 1440 Liberty Thermionics

I decided around 4:30 today that it was time to take a walk… so co-worker and i left the building on the sly. We talked about work stuff as we strolled around so i don’t really think there was any problem with it, but i know what some may say To complicate things, there was a baseball game this afternoon…

Mason and Green St: Right In Front of My Old House
1920 1440 Liberty Thermionics

Everyone loves cable cars right? The tourists sure do. It’s kind of funny – if you take pictures of the cable car the people riding them pose for you. They’re really proud of the fact that they’re on the cable car – maybe just that they made it through the line to ride the thing – and now have the…

Washington Square Park, San Francisco
1920 1440 Liberty Thermionics

Looking south into Washington Square Park the sky seemed much more omnious with an infrared filter strapped to the front. (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 middle of the night. Either…

Giant Concrete Cross – Mount Davidson
1920 1440 Liberty Thermionics

The second thing that’s up here is a giant concrete cross It’s kind of strange – as you walk up the hill to the summit of Mount Davidson (summit because it’s the highest point in San Francisco) you’re in a state park. The area surrounding the cross though, it’s made abundantly clear, is owned by the church. I guess they…

Wind Blown Tree – Mount Davidson
1920 1440 Liberty Thermionics

On the way up here we happened on was appeared to be a rather gruesome accident. A small old toyota pickup went head-to-head with one of those hybrid MUNI buses i mentioned the other day. Looked like the bus came out ahead. Mount Davidson is one of those places that you never go out of your way to see, you…

Weeping Willow – Washington Square Park
1920 1440 Liberty Thermionics

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 your parents keep in the…

Along the Embarcadero
1920 1440 Liberty Thermionics

In the closest lane is a beautiful MUNI hybrid bus. (You can’t really see it because it’s in stealth mode) In the background, obscured by the palm tree is the Gap building. This is the birth place of all things somewhat trendy. Sometimes near there there’s an awful smell eminating from the drains. Turns out it’s not rotting sewage, but…
