San Francisco

I went up to San Francisco to have a look at the Macworld exhibition as I had a free ticket for it. The exhibition was a bit of a fizzer and the only thing that I found interesting was related to cameras.

I then walked up 4th St., through Chinatown to Coit tower, then down to the waterfront and back around to the Caltrain. Here's a map.

This was a cute, wacky hardware store on the corner of 4th and Jessie.


Old Navy.


I caught the end of a protest march about the situation in Egypt. This guy was posing for a newspaper photographer. His sign was very creative.


This guy wasn't part of the protesters, but they had all walked right past him, with his sign bobbing like stick stuck in the middle of a stream. If you look closely, his beanie and jacket have the same message on them in multiple spots.


There was a very interesting rap / hip-hop group performing on the next corner. There were only 2 black people, the girl with the red lipstick looked like she was doing it for a bet. The letters on their overalls didn't seem to spell anything and their dancing was bad. I'll upload a video tomorrow so that you can see what I mean. Here's a mercifully short video of their performance.


There was a Ferrari shop.


With a Ferrari parked out the front on the sidewalk.


Window shoes. I like the hands.


Twin lamps.


Signs of the times ?


Crossing.


These two were singing a full opera in the middle of the street. They were quite good.


Old and new.


fresh. I like the roof over the door with all the ornamentation.


Entrance to Chinatown.

More tomorrow when the rest of the photos and videos have uploaded.
