AT&T Park – San Francisco Bay

Tonight I’m going to see Roger Waters perform The Wall at AT&T Park (just to the left of center in this photo) in San Francisco. This will be an amazing event.

Recycled Records – San Francisco

Recycled Records haight ashbury san francisco california

Once upon a time (1990-1991) I lived on Webster Street in San Francisco with the nearest cross street being Haight Street. More of my disposable income went to CDs than pretty much anything else. Recycled Records on Haight and Masonic wasn’t far away, and I purchased many a CD in those hallowed walls. At that point in time probably 95% of Recycled Records’ inventory was CDs. A decade before Recycled Records’ inventory was probably 95% records (with the other 5% being tapes).

Flash forward to 2012 and the circle of life has ended up where it began as Recycled Records now sells little other than records again. Who could have predicted such a fate for the LP in 1991?

Mark Hopkins Hotel

The scene on Nob Hill, in front of the Mark Hopkins, is usually one of chaos. However, before 7 a.m. on a Sunday morning the little brick driveway, frequently crammed with taxis and limos trying to get in and out, seems rather tranquil and calm. I took today’s photo (with my ultra-wide 11mm lens) on our trip to San Francisco earlier this week.
