San Francisco, Presented in Technicolor
In a couple of days, it will mark my one year anniversary of living in San Francisco. When I graduated college, I wanted to live/work in one of three cities: SF, NYC or London. Fortunately, I got myself a job in SF and have been here since.
When we settle down, we sometimes forget just how awesome and beautiful our home can be. I’ve found that pretending to be a tourist gives you a new perspective and lets you really appreciate your home town.
I’ve taken quite a few pictures over the past year and here are some of my best. So without further adieu, here’s a little taste of San Francisco:
Looking down a street near Union Square.
The Bay Bridge with a full moon.
Peering into the heart of China Town.
Ocean Beach, near the west entrance of Golden Gate Park.
Fort Mason, home of Oktoberfest, Beerfest and any other festival that involves alcohol.
Broadway and Columbus, North Beach. A lethal combination of taquerias, strip clubs and bars.
Golden Gate Bridge near sunset.
View of Alcatraz from the top of the hill.
Sunset from my back porch.
The porch at night.
And for the photography nerds out there (myself included), the photos were taken with a Nikon D40 using the kit lens and a 35mm 1.8/f. If you liked these, make sure you check out the photos I took at Bay to Breakers.
I must admit, San Francisco is pretty awesome. If you haven’t been, you definitely have to check it out. Hope you enjoyed the photos!

Great pictures! I’ve never been out West (southern La. girl), but hope to make it out that way some day soon.
Thanks for sharing!

hi there, just wanted to say thanks for this and all your other posts! it’s two years now that i’ve been to SFO and i miss it. but when i will have graduated in october i’ll go to south east asia. so your posts are really helpfull when it comes to convincing myself, that travelling alone might be a great idea 😀
I am so jealous of you for having such an awesome porch. It must be amazing to kick back there, sip a glass of wine and watch the beautiful city.
