I am a native San Franciscan. Since becoming a photographer I’ve found The City always ready for her close-up, blemishes and all. I love doing shots here— can’t let tourists have all the fun.

    We used to go there after our performances at Dance Spectrum. It was the perfect spot to be together and unwind. The mariachis would come through and play. It is one of my best memories.
