san francisco sight-seeing
Tuesday, July 22, 2008 at 12:56 PM
So I finally found twenty spare minutes to resize these photos and get them up on the blog! These are from a week and a half ago, and the 72 whirl-wind hours I spent in San Francisco with Melissa Jill shooting Taylor and Lisa's wedding (I promise to post up a handful I shot from that wedding as well.) We walked around the city on Sunday, the day after the wedding for about six hours, just shooting and talking and seeing the sights. I LOVE doing that in a new city. I had been to San Francisco before, but definitely saw some neat and different areas this time!
Here's the breakfast place right across from our hotel room that we ate at all three mornings. I know, we're not that adventurous: but it was reasonably priced, relatively quick and very good! :)
Our hotel, Sir Francis Drake.
Some shots inside the fancy lobby.
Love the architecture around San Fran.
The "Seven Sisters" in Alamo Square (apparently wiki calls them the Painted Ladies!)
Here's a photo of Melissa and I...once we gave up on the self portrait.
Cute little flowerstand.
Then it was onto Chinatown!

We sat in this grassy shady park for at least a half hour just hanging out and relaxing. It was so calming I don't think any of us wanted to get up. Except Tim. He was getting a little fidgety. We tried to get a self-portrait of the three of us with Melissa's camera, and seen as Tim had the longest arms, he was appointed the photographer. We tried like twenty times, and they were all out of focus and blurry. Partly this was because Melissa refused to change her custom settings and just make it easy to focus using the shutter button!! Sheesh. Haha, just kidding girl. In the end we got one photo in focus, but Melissa made me promise not to post it here because we all look a little unfortunate. That's what twenty failed self-portraits and a wide angle lenses will do to a person.

That's all I got! I took a few shots at nighttime the last night I was there as well which I may post up in the next few weeks. I had two family sessions last night that are in the blog line-up, and also have two e-sessions in the next three days. Coupled with a wedding on Saturday, I'm going to be a blogging fiend before I leave for Chicago on Monday to stay with Sarah Barlow.
