    I’m ending street art week with one of my favorites, a long standing piece that’s hidden in the alley between Valencia and Mission streets, less than two blocks from where I used to live. I love the burst of colors, the use of repeating geometric patterns, and most of all, the man’s silhouette that encases…

    I used to live by Embarcadero and would jog from the Bay Bridge up to Pier 39 and back in the mornings. There was always this kid playing the trumpet next to the Ferry Building. He was a cute kid, looking classy in his suit, tie, and fedora. Unfortunately, his playing was really not all…

    Fleet Week is one of my favorite times in San Francisco. For a week, sailors from the navy, marines, and coast guard recently home from their overseas deployment come to town, and the city celebrates with events, cheap drinks, air shows, and parades. The Blue Angels fly all over the city, and often show up…

    When I was in high school, I was really into Kpop. All the girls were super cute! I wasn’t a big fan of the boy bands though, they all seemed a bit scrawny, and sometimes I really couldn’t tell they were men. By the time I went to my first Kpop concert, I was already…

    While not my best photography work, I love this photo of the Valentine’s Day pillow fight one rainy night in San Francisco. It’s events like this that makes this city so vibrant and dynamic, the willingness of strangers to come together to celebrate a silly idea with utmost enthusiasm. Not to mention Valentine’s Day is…

    I live on a busy street next to a funeral home and across from a church. There is a police station right around the corner next to juvie court. Next to those, are some of the most posh restaurants and furniture shops. On the way to the Bart station i’ll see people in fancy dresses,…

    I watched my first magic show last week. It was only in hindsight that I realized I had never seen a magic show before, and immediately felt like I missed out on my childhood 🙁 David Gerard calls himself a magician and a mindreader, and I would add improv comedian to that list as well. He opened…

    I remember watching the Leonid meteor shower in college with my church youth group a long long time ago. We drove far from the city and laid down on blankets staring up at the sky. We made wishes to shooting stars and giggled over the silliness of those wishes. I now know that shooting stars…
