Give us artsy fartsy.
Submitted by Meg.
I asked because I was curious what types of responses I'd get. And alright, honestly, I was hoping for a lot of bullshit. Thanks for humouring me guys! Here's my brand of "artsy fartsy":
To the left is the park sign on Steiner Street. The whole area is laden with these penis-shaped pillars. They even have HOLES carved in on the tips. Talk about subtle. And this one inparticular has some sort of pee-stain yellow moss growing all over it. Beautiful.
Right around the corner live the Painted Ladies. I wonder what sorts of people live in them, and if they have any weird stories of crazy tourists trying to get inside for more pictures. I mean...these houses are one of the most photographed landmarks in San Francisco...there's no way everyone will look but not touch.
And last but not least, this gem of an entryway. How ridiculously awesome is that?
Show us a local landmark.
Taken on May 14th, 2005, at the Legion of Honor. I've yet to go inside the museum, but I have wandered around the courtyard a bit. I absolutely love the detailing on the arch.
This series was taken on October 14th, 2005, down at the Wharf. I remember it all very clearly. I was on my lunch break, and decided to walk down to the pier and sit by the water. I grabbed a sandwich on my way and sat down at the back of a parking lot, right next to the water. Having food, I immediately attracted quite a few birds, including a gignormous seagull, a few starlings still in their spring feathers, and this particular pair of pigeons, who are, in my opinion, two of the sweetest in San Francisco.
I also attracted a very creepy homeless man, who insisted on giving me one of his balloon animals, forced a marriage proposal on me after he learned I was single, and generally wouldn't get the hell away from me. That was the last time I ever gave a bum the time of day, and the beginning of my mastery in the Art of Ignoring.
Taken on the 10th of August, 2005, while riding MUNI. I don't remember the exact location, but given the store front, I'm pretty sure it's Market/6th area, haha. The homeless here are always selling such random stuff.
Incidentally, it reminds me of a Naono Bohra manga. Yeah, you know the one.
Well, it wasn't so much an adventure as a leisurely uphill stroll, but still.
As my roommate and I drove past this unique Victorian in Noe Valley, I began to wonder...what type of people live in this house bordered by bunnies? Did it come with the bunnies when they bought it, or do they just love bunnies so much they want them forever hopping around their home?
I wonder what they'd look like on fire.
Take a photo of something orange.
Taken on the night of August 11th, 2005. I love going through my old photo folders and finding shots I'd forgotten I'd even taken.
