It's all a bit overwhelming and making me more than a little homesick. I'm glad to see where it all began finally make it into a San Francisco photo thread:

Mission San Francisco de Asis (ca. 1776), nicknamed Mission Dolores after a nearby creek named Arroyo de Nuestra Señora de los Dolores (creek of Our Lady of Sorrows)

wow, super thread, smashing area. I'll be there in a few weeks and I worried about the overgentrification, the tribecaïzation, the lifestylization, the marthastewartization of the whole city. thanks, I am reassured, it's still Queens sometimes.

great angles! this is surrealist :

but it would be nice if you could take pics of your snacks when it's not 3/4 eaten

Great job once again. Such a colorful place. I'll be waiting for part III.

POLA · #5 Posted: **Mar 12, 2008, 4:56 PM**

great photos. Olga would like these.

Now this is fucking eye candy. Damn this is a sweet thread.

Thundertubs · #7 Posted: **Mar 12, 2008, 5:42 PM**

Speechless.
What an awesome down-and-dirty thread.

Although on the downside, I now have a burrito craving that cannot be properly satisfied here in New Hampshire.

Austinlee · #8 Posted: **Mar 12, 2008, 5:58 PM**

Wow, that is a heavily spanish area. Really great pics, this place sure has a lot of character.

WesternGulf · #9 Posted: **Mar 12, 2008, 7:34 PM**

all around great photos. like the white and green at the end of the alley.

Tobyoby · #10 Posted: **Mar 12, 2008, 11:44 PM**

Thanks! It always gets to me when people think all of SF is, "overgentrified" or a "disneyland" or a boutique city or something, so I'm glad to show a side that most people don't know about.

Can I ask what you mean by "surrealist" though? Is it the different angles, layers, and lack of depth or something?

As for the snacks...sorry, I guess my mouth is faster than my camera finger...especially when it comes to burritos.

awesome sequel to the first thread! i cant wait to check out the mission next week

ColDayMan · #13 Posted: **Mar 13, 2008, 3:09 AM**

Brilliant!

bigd · #14 Posted: **Mar 13, 2008, 3:41 AM**

Sweet pictures. It would be awesome if you could get some shots of the San Francisco neighborhoods. I have never really seen most of them.

BTinSF · #15 Posted: **Mar 13, 2008, 3:46 AM**

^^^There have been a number of threads on them. I (and some others) did the Tenderloin. I can recall an excellent thread on the Richmond by someone. I have seen the Haight. I don't have time to try locate them for you but if you give "search" a workout they are there.

denveraztec · #16 Posted: **Mar 13, 2008, 4:02 AM**

Excellent Thread!

tech12 · #17 Posted: **Mar 13, 2008, 4:06 AM**

Yeah, I did the Tenderloin too. Don't worry though, I definitely have more stuff on the way.

flar · #18 Posted: **Mar 13, 2008, 4:29 AM**

What a colourful area!

peanut gallery · #19 Posted: **Mar 13, 2008, 5:13 AM**

If you're taking requests, do Potrero and Dogpatch! And SOMA brick warehouses. And Bernal. And the Fillmore. Heck, can you just quit your job and shoot everything? I think everyone here would appreciate it.
