Sometimes I take a lot of shots of something nice and otherwise mundane and the results wind up dull. In such a case I like to stack the images as semi transparent layers and see if anything less dull appears. In the case above it’s only slightly less dull, but I’ve got something important to say, so enough with the self-involved picture talk…

City of San Francisco did something great when they invested in the Garfield Park playfield improvements. That field has brought a lot of life to the area and it’s fun to watch.

In the past I’ve always rejected artificial turf surfaces. This one makes perfect sense. It’s not in constant use, but pretty close.

If rents weren’t already out of control, I’d probably brag about my neighborhood now.

Instead I’ll remind you that San Francisco is incredibly expensive! Really. And now there’s actually graffiti on my neighbor’s wall. Graffiti! You know what that means, right?? It means – as much as I love you and it hurts me most to say it – it means don’t move here.

Thanks!
