I returned last week from a six day trip to San Francisco. The primary goal was to attend a conference on Emerging Technology Application hosted by Sloan-C. This was an absolutely fabulous symposium packed full of great sessions and well attended by my peers across the county and world. A secondary goal and of more relevance to this forum was the opportunity to visit a new city which I’ve wanted to see since moving to to Phoenix several years ago. In between sessions and after the conference I was able to explore the city and surrounding areas. I teamed up with a good friend and colleague Wayne to share the adventure. Wayne was a perfect traveling partner as we share a similar interest in photography and media in general. We often joked that our significant others would have been bored out of their minds at the 3 hours spent hunting for optimal photography spots around the Golden Gate Bridge. A few of the highlights included China Town, Fisherman’s Wharf, Alcatraz Night Tour, Golden Gate Bridge and Park, Sausalito, Height and Ashbury, Coit Tower, Financial District, Point Reyes, Inverness, Pacific Coast Highway, Redwood Forest, the BART and Trolley Cars.
All in all it was a fabulous trip! I look forward to returning. Here are a few of my favorite photos and a short video I created using animoto.
