Lands End in San Francisco, California
This image was taken in summer. San Francisco is notorious for it’s unseasonably cold summers and this day was no exception. This was actually just a snapshot of a friend with a little 35mm point and shoot. I’m generally pretty methodical with picture taking and try to avoid snapshots but this one worked out.

If someone was visiting, what must they do? There’s so much to do but make sure you check out Golden Gate Park for sure.
A perfect meal in San Francisco? Fried chicken at Beast and the Hare. The first time I ate there they had a bunch of Eirik Johnson photos hanging, I was sold.

What is the worst? Funnily enough, with such a colorful history and population San Francisco is not really a great town for artists, freelancers or small businesses generally… it’s super expensive and essentially a financial center for big banks and now tech companies moving in from Silicon Valley.
