And why didn’t they build the Transamerica Building bigger?

I mean, much like the French with the Eifel Tower, we Bay Area locals didn’t think much of the new lumbering addition to our skyline at first… but we came around, and it has come to be an iconic symbol of … Continue reading →

Lombard Street in San Francisco is one of the twistiest streets in the world, but it isn’t very long… but what if it was?

But even when you are just messing around with pictures of San Francisco in Photoshop, there are still artistic choices you have to make…

I ended up with that one, but to get there, I went through a few earlier stages… Obviously, I could have just left that first one looking like that without doubling it again. But I also considered just doubling it … Continue reading →

I know this turned into a whole thing, but I really do need to finish sharing these pictures of San Francisco….

Yes… I know I said I was just going to do these Photoshop pictures of San Francisco for one day… but the crack squirrels in my head really got into it, and now I still have a bunch of pictures, so I can’t just waste them, can I?
