North Beach Outing: Boulevard of Broken Dreams

I snapped these photos last week Friday while out shooting with Plug1 (Whatimseeing.com) and Derek Poon (4Fifteen Clothing).  North  Beach is a much different place during the day.  I actually enjoy it more.  I have some war stories from lurking that area at night, especially up on Broadway.  That street is a fight waiting to happen.

The best part of this outing was when a strip club doorman, this little ratty looking dude with a greasy, slicked-back ponytail and pencil beard, wearing a ridiculously oversized suit -- seriously, this guy was like 5’5 wearing a 46 Long pinstriped blazer -- approached us and said, “Erray! You fellas wanna do some real sightseeing?  Step inside.”  Raaaaaaaar!

Off to go shoot photos on Market Street right now…hope the rain holds off.  Don't want to zorp my camera.

Happy Friday!

I like north beach. and I might be the ony 20something that doesnt live there that does. I guess ive been lucky enough to know old timers that have shown me a trick or two. One of my super old neighbors used to work in the Victoria bakery back in the 60s. Sure times have changed dramatically but some character still remains. I dont think people that live there are too happy with the broadway shenanigans either. My fave stops would be citizen chain, the saloon (with live music ;) most nights-free entertainment), the tailor on grant, melt and fivepoints arthouse.
Very cool shots, Ive always like that bubbles sign
