Season's Greetings

Happy holidays to everybody!

Windows of San Francisco (Part 1)

I love looking at windows, whether through them (inside looking out, or outside looking in) or at them ... These windows made me feel optimistic for some reason.

J'aime regarder les fenêtres depuis toujours, de l'extérieur, de l'intérieur, à travers pour voir ce qu'il y a d'intéssant de l'autre coté ou simplement regarder les fenêtres elles-mêmes ... Ces fenêtres m'ont egayée, je ne sais pas pourquoi.

Almost the holidays.. but not quite!

Before
After

It's not as easy as it looks to create a window display with a life size horse and a bunch of manequins, according to very specific instructions, in a very small space.

C'est pas si facile que ça en a l'air de faire une vitrine avec un faux cheval de taille réelle, plusieurs mannequins, et des instructions très précises dans un tout petit espace.



Around the corner, still putting in the finishing touches...
De l'autre coté de la rue, on finit les derniers petits details...

Summer in San Francisco

Bank of America Tower in the fog

Bastille Day in San Francisco

Gay Pride Parade 2008, San Francisco

This contingent is, I believe, Velocity Circus. They shot fake snow all over Market Street, and the crowd loved it!

The only thing I could find online about these cool peformers is this blog.

Checkered pattern

Who could possibly be stuck at work by a beautiful Sunday afternoon?

(Photographed slightly South of Market last Sunday on my way to the Contemporary Jewish Museum.)

Tough crowd

Photographed in San Francisco, during the Bay to Breakers 2008 annual footrace.

Telegraph Hill (Coit Tower)

I left my heart ... in San Francisco!

Hey, I just realized I haven't posted one single cable car on this blog! Well, here you go. Cable car moving through the night on Powell St., towards Market.

Rue Stockton

A little touch of French to add a little je ne sais quoi ...

Coit Tower

You all know Coit Tower I suppose? If you don't, go ahead and click on the link. You'll find a short history of Coit Tower, as well as photographs of the City taken from the monument, such as this one. Enjoy!

Vous connaissez tous Coit Tower je suppose? Sinon, cliquez sur ce lien. Vous decouvrirez un sommaire sur le monument (en Anglais), mais aussi des photos de la ville prise depuis la tour, comme celle ci. Tres beau!

Bay Bridge on Sunny Sunday Afternoon

This shot of the Bay Bridge was taken on the Waterfront, in the area between the Ferry Building and the AT&T Baseball Park. The orange arc on top is a piece of the sculpture called scuplture called Cupid's Span, a relatively new addition to the City. I will show you more shots of that sculpture and, of course, the AT&T park, in the next couple of posts.

Ce que vous voyez est le Bay Bridge, photographié depuis le Waterfront, entre le Ferry Building et le Baseball Park AT&T. La partie orange en haut de la photo est un morceau d'une sculpture relativement récente, qui s'appelle Cupid's Span. Je vous montrerai très bientôt le Park AT&T et la scuplture en entier.

Additional shots of the sculpture, Bay Bridge, and Ferry Building.

Fruit of the Loom Commercial

Just another day in San Francisco. I happen to walk by on the shooting of this Fruit of the Loom commercial on Pine Street, the other day. Quite a production, really. For additional pictures and comments, please visit my other blog.

Kellogg Street?

If you look up and see this (above), you are

(a) dreaming
(b) you have fallen into a bowl of milk and are looking up to a box of cereals
(c) in the Mission District, San Francisco
(d) in bed, still "under the influence." My advice, stay in bed! :)

Si vous voyez cette image (ci-dessus), vous êtes

(a) en plein sommeil, en train de rêver
(b) vous êtes tombé(e) dans un bol de lait et vous êtes en face d'une boite de céréales.
(c) dans le Mission District, à San Francisco
(d) au lit, pas dans votre état normal. Un conseil, restez-y! :)

iPhone: iWant One!!! J'en veux un!!!

The line of people waiting to get into the San Francisco Apple store to get their coveted iPhone was already wrapped around the block when I passed by there in the morning. Some of these people had been in line since ... the day before!

Les gens faisaient déjà la queue devant le magasin et autour du pathé de maison pour acheter leur iPhones quand je suis passé devant Apple, San Francisco, ce matin. Certains faisaient la queue depuis ... le jour d'avant!
