| San Francisco City Hall | A hilly street downtown |

| With no companions, I found other subjects to photograph. Downtown I came across this dog, happily trying to tear his leash off a post while the owner was inside a drug store. As I clicked this photo of this scene the dog stopped suddenly, instantly cocking his ears and tail into the classic, surprised, guilty "puppy" look, leash and tongue still dangling out of the mouth. Just a cute little snap, I like dogs... | A frustrated guy, saturated with graduate school rejection letters and failed relationships over the course of two years, looks at this quote scrawled into a dirty minivan on the streets of San Francisco, and thinks to himself, "damn, there sure are some bitter people out there." |

San Francisco is known for vertigo views and hilly streets at 45-degree angles; check out the car chase in the movie Bullet sometime. In this picture I tried to capture this perspective while cresting a hill around Pacific Heights with my camera in one hand on the steering wheel in the other. So I bought the required tacky plastic streetcar souvenir and squeezed my way through the dense crowds of tourists by the waterfront. Docked at one of the piers was a World War Two Liberty ship. Any maritime city worth it's salt usually has at least one decommissioned Navy vessel moored for the tourists. New London has the Nautilus, New York the Enterprise and Baltimore the Constitution, and San Francisco at this moment had the Jeremiah O'Brien. |
