- Sutro Tower – Sf
San Francisco Friday Photos Camera+ are images I took using the Camera+ app on my iPhone. I captured today’s images on walks in Buena Vista Park and the Dogpatch neighborhood. The image above is the famous Sutro Tower atop Twin Peaks at Sunset. I was inspired by the David Lynch series Twin Peaks to process this image. (Camera+ – Snapseed – Photo Toaster)
- Shadowy Fence
Afternoon light made this fence align at an opposing angle from its own shadow. (Camera+ – Snapseed – Photo Toaster)
- BART Rider and Shadow
A familiar shadow watches over this rider on the San Francisco rapid transit deep underground. (Camera+ – Snapseed – Photo Toaster)
- Pampas Grass
Pampas Grass thrives where factory life has ceased. (Camera+ – Snapseed – Photo Toaster)
- Crossword Windows
Warning signs are a cold play and rather redundant. (Camera+ – Snapseed – Photo Toaster)
- Abandoned Hell
The windows in the distance appear as the flames of Hell awaiting. The phenomenal light from the ceiling and the end walls gave this abandoned factory a haunting quality. I could sense munitions were constructed here in WW 2. There is something so sensual about hell on earth. (Camera+ – Snapseed – Photo Toaster)
- Tactile Shadow
I love how this shadow reminds me of a praying Mantis enlarged on a canvas screen. This was the building behind the fence from above. (Camera+ – Snapseed – Photo Toaster)
- The Tired Artist
The Blissful Adventurer self-portrait on a BART train and exhausted. (Camera+ – Snapseed – Photo Toaster – Glaze)
I was trying to figure out which one I liked best. It’s either Crossword Window, or Abandoned Hell.
Do you shoot only with an Iphone? I typically detest Iphonography. Really I do… but your photography is genius. If you haven’t already, you should invest in some high quality glass just to see what brilliance that may bring about.
I shoot also and often with a DSLR and you can see some of the results here http://theblissfuladventurer.com/lost-images-of-2012-venice/
and thanks for the enormous compliment! I am having lots of fun
Great shots, the pampas grass looks like Toi Toi which grows in NZ – perhaps it is the same thing.

Thank you for this and for being a wonderful supporter!
I adore San Fran So much! Thanks for sharing these images. Fantastic.
Such cool images. I particularly like the one of the fence, and the passenger on BART. So now I gotta know: Did you teach yourself photography?
Jessica,
That is a very good question, so good in fact I hope you won’t mind but I will answer it in a blog post next week. The short answer is mostly yes
Stunning pictures!
you are too kind, thank you!
That’s also my favorite! Great eyes see alike!!
thank you very much! I love these comments
You’re welcome! Have a wonderful weekend Michael!
You too Sherry!
The Pampas Grass photo is surprisingly colorful – the shades of red and pink really catch my eye and bring the composition together.
Thank you very much. It was my wife’s favorite shot of the post
