It's been FOREVER since I've contributed anything to the forum. I've been AWOL for the last 6 months or so. Well, I'm hoping to change all that. For starters here's a short set of shots I took the last time I was in SF. More to follow:

FYI--This building is something of an icon of Philip Johnson's post-modernism. The 12 faceless statues around the top were rumored (because Johnson apparently suggested as much) to be a mocking reference to the SF Board of Supervisors and mayor:

The other well-known Johnson building in town is 101 California St. (he did 2 others including the Nieman-Marcus store on Union Square).

Anyway, nice work and looking forward to more.

Very nice! I especially love that Density on Russian Hill shot. Can't wait to see what else you have in store.
