Another book that is not likely to get printed. Maybe mostly because I just haven't been happy with the black and white books from Apple. The pdf can be downloaded here.

Chinatown Snaps
Uploading to SmugMug now around 85 San Francisco Chinatown images from Monday afternoon. Miscellaneous San Francisco and Presido images to follow tomorrow. The most interesting snaps pretty much come from the Chinatown alleys. They are located here.
"Alleyways in Chinatown were created during the early settlement of the Chinese in the late 1870's. During that period, the rapidly-growing community was restricted by anti-Chinese sentiment to a six block area behind the back streets of the Barbary Coast. To maximize space within the confines of its boundary, the community created a maze of secondary streets and pedestrian walkways. Ross Alley is located in the center of this maze. the alley is a narrow passage running between Washington and Jackson Streets. Ross is actually an extension of Spottard Alley in many ways. In the past, both alleyways were infamous as a place for gambling and prostitution. Ross is known as Gau Leuie Sung Hon (Old Spanish Alley) because of the many latins that patronized the area. Today, there are both residences and commercial establishments in http://jnash.smugmug.com/Joe/Travels/Chinatown-San-Francisco/15427360_Q7uLz#1154914392_NZ7buthe densely built-up alleyway which continues to function as a major artery for pedestrians." From the historic marker at the end of Ross Alley
"Ross Alley is the oldest alley in San Francisco. It was known for brothels and gambling." from www.sanfranciscochinatown.com
The rest of the snaps are here on SmugMug.

down the block, then they made a left... they were faaast!
The Rock
Fortunately from about three miles away, in the Presidio. Although three days of seven hour conference calls may have a similar look and feel.
California
Sunset over the Pacific on January 10th. A little less chilly than the sunrise over Baltimore Harbor on the 12th.
Golden Gate
So after Chinatown (prior post) there was some time left to head out to the Presidio and and get some snaps of the Bridge, Alcatraz and Baker Beach. Just a couple here, more to follow later in the week on SmugMug and when not sitting at SFO Gate A7.
Rush hour on the Golden Gate
End of the day from Baker Beach
Runners on Baker Beach

A late morning meeting in the east bay and a red eye home, left time to drive in to park at the worlds cleanest garage, 555 California Street and take a walk trough Chinatown. Posting just these two from Chinatown lots more to come later in the week.
