Marin Hills From Fort Mason

As predicted, the show wasn't great, and so here instead is a shot of Fort Mason itself. There were a couple of pictures I should have taken but missed, including one of the stern of some unknown wooden ship mounted on a retaining wall ... but they'll just have to wait until we find ourselves back there again some day. Probably won't be in early March next year though!

Art - Tough Way To Make A Living

Not yet sure how today will work out but sounds like sales yesterday weren't wonderful at least. There was a bit of a rush when the doors opened Saturday morning but come around 12:30 then things basically fell away. Haven't yet got an update on sales weekend-to-date but I somehow suspect that, no matter how you count it, I won't be retiring tomorrow on the proceeds.

Still, the weather has been glorious and the venue - Fort Mason, up in San Francisco's Marina District - is itself interesting. As you may have guessed, it's an old military base and part of the Golden Gate Recreation Area. There are a few shops or small businesses that have opened there but in all honesty then unless you are in the area anyway I wouldn't make a special detour.

Now for the no-fun part: taking everything down, packing it up and getting back through the city. Let's see, it's 3 pm now so with luck we'll be home by 8:30 pm earliest?

Long Vista (#1)

Back to photography for the weekend. A couple of B&W shots striving to create long lead-in lines. First up, the Marina District in San Francisco and a low wall leading towards the Fort Mason Center.
