Activists installed guerrilla benches at bus stops in #SanFrancisco. Will the city keep them or tear them out? https://docpop.org/2025/06/public-benches-installed-by-activists/

Three people sitting on a bench that has been installed at a bus stop on Mission and 26th st. They are waiting for a bus. Also in the photo is an older woman who is pushing a stroller down the sidewalk.

A wooden bench with SFBABC.org written on one side. This is a clean looking bench that has been bolted to the sidewalk by volunteers. The bench is constructed with 2X4 wooden planks and a few custom made metal pieces. These aren't store bought benches, but they look like they could be.

Blue Angels and the Bridge
This is an image of the US Navy Blue Angels flying just south of the Golden Gate Bridge as they make their way into San Francisco. This event takes place yearly wrapping up with the Navy's Fleet Week.
These jets fly in amazingly tight formations and put on a show that can be seen from many great places along San Francisco Bay.

This route takes them over the San Francisco Bay and into San Francisco.
In this image you can see all 6 jets flying in tight formation as they pass the south tower of the bridge. The cables stretch out and hang down towards the deck of the bridge. All 6 jets are trailing smoke out of the rear of the jets as they make their entrance.

Some days I think about how I recently saw a guy in crisis, tweaking out in the bus. He was screaming really loudly. Most people avoided him. A big dude told him to shut TF up. The guy started crying. The big dude asked, do you need a hug? And gave him some money and told him where to go get food.

Buses connect people. Sometimes the inconvenience and grit looks like a lot, but as a forever rider of buses everywhere (I like them more than trains), I have no shortage of amazing human stories I’ve witnessed in buses the world over.

I just read in the Wall Street Journal that certain areas of San Francisco remain a ‘no go zone’, despite the best and most valiant efforts of our amazing ‘only good mayor in a while’, the billionaire whose mama paid for his campaign.

The no go zone, supposedly, includes the place I live in; where in the same article the same mayor says ‘it also has the highest number of children’

The Pyramid

The Transamerica Pyramid has been an iconic building ever sine I was a young boy. I recall seeing it on television during a golf tournament sponsored by I believe the Trans America co.
At the time of completion this building was the fifth tallest in the world and the tallest west of the Mississippi River.
The building is 850 feet and 48
Construction began in 1969 and it was finished in 1972.

I dropped off copies of our anti-ICE zines at a few local shops (like Mission Comics) in S.F. These were created by the Cartoonist Conspiracy of #SanFrancisco.

If you can’t pick up a copy in person, you can print your own here https://docpop.org/2025/06/anti-ice-zines-by-the-cartoonist-conspiracy-of-san-francisco/

A stack of mini-comics on the checkout counter at Mission Comics. The comics are titled “What not to say to ICE” and “What to say if you meet an ICE agent”. The comics are black and white and hand folded.

Palace Of Fine Arts/Columns And Curves

The Palace Of Fine Arts is one of ten structures of this nature built for the 1915 Pan-American Exposition in San Francisco California.
This is located in the Marina District of the city only a few blocks up off the San Francisco Bay.

Palace Of Fine Arts/Columns And Curves

Warm late‑afternoon light pours across the Palace of Fine Arts, igniting the sandstone columns in a deep, honey‑gold glow. The architecture rises with a quiet, commanding elegance—massive fluted pillars curving into graceful arches that feel both ancient and impossibly alive. Shadows slip between the columns like soft velvet, adding depth and mystery, while the sky beyond opens into a clear, luminous blue that feels almost painted.

There’s a gentle stillness in the scene, the kind that makes you instinctively slow your breathing. The trees framing the structure add a whisper of movement, their leaves catching the light like tiny green sparks.

This photograph doesn’t just show architecture—it invites the viewer into a moment of serenity, history, and awe. It’s the kind of image that transforms a room: warm enough for a living space, sophisticated enough for an office, and timeless enough for collectors who appreciate classical lines and atmospheric light.

Why buyers connect with this piece:

It radiates calm, making it ideal for spaces that need grounding energy.

The warm tones and clean architectural lines pair effortlessly with modern, rustic, or traditional décor.

It captures one of San Francisco’s most iconic structures in a way that feels intimate, almost cinematic.

The composition draws the eye inward, making it a natural focal point on any wall.

Golden Gate in the Fog

A fog-draped Golden Gate Bridge rises behind a quiet pier, its towers fading in and out of the mist. Soft light and low clouds create a moody, atmospheric scene that captures the bridge’s iconic form just as the fog begins to lift.
This image was captured from Crissy Field.

Golden Gate In The Fog

A long wooden pier stretches quietly into the foreground, its planks weathered and cool-looking, as if still damp from the morning air. Beyond it, the Golden Gate Bridge rises like a rust‑red silhouette, its towers partially swallowed by thick, rolling fog. The mist softens every edge, drifting in slow, ghostlike sheets that blur the line between sky and water. The bay beneath the bridge appears calm and steel‑gray, reflecting only hints of light. The whole scene feels hushed—cool air on the skin, the faint scent of saltwater, and the distant, muted hum of a city hidden behind the fog.

Palace Of Fine Arts III

The Palace of Fine Arts rises like a dreamscape apparition, its grand dome glowing with an otherworldly radiance under infrared light. The surrounding trees shimmer in pale, feathery whites, as if dusted with frost. The pond below lies still and glassy, mirroring the architecture with a quiet, breath‑held calm. The whole scene feels hushed and luminous—familiar yet transformed, as though the world has slipped into a serene alternate spectrum.

Palace Of Fine Arts

The Palace of Fine Arts rises like a quiet monument in monochrome, its domed crown glowing softly against a pale sky. Stone columns stand like solemn sentinels, their reflections trembling gently in the still pond below. The water carries a cool, glassy sheen, broken only by faint ripples. Trees frame the scene with dark, feathery textures, adding a whisper of movement to the otherwise hushed, timeless atmosphere.

He Was Fired for Sexually Harassing Students. California Allowed Him to Keep Teaching Anyway.
---

Math teacher Jason Agan was deemed “unfit to teach.” But the finding was never made public. This is how the state allowed him — and dozens of other educators found to have committed sexual harassment or misconduct — to keep their credentials.

Hyatt Abstract

The Hyatt abstract is an image that I captured while walking around in downtown San Francisco. I was shooting buildings but looking for different perspectives from what most people would shoot.
They Hyatt is a tall high rise in in San Francisco. The structure is quit impressive as far as buildings go and is a wonderful piece of modern architecture.

https://pixels.com/featured/hyatt-abstract-bill-gallagher.html

Hyatt Abstract

A striking sweep of modern geometry and cool blue tones, Hyatt Abstract pulls you into the soaring rhythm of San Francisco’s iconic high‑rise architecture. The repeating lines and angled planes create a hypnotic sense of depth—like standing at the base of the tower and feeling it rise endlessly above you. Light glides across the building’s textured surfaces, revealing subtle patterns that shift as your eye moves, giving the piece a dynamic, almost kinetic energy.

This photograph blends urban sophistication with clean, contemporary design, making it a perfect statement piece for upscale homes, modern offices, and minimalist interiors. Its bold structure and crisp palette instantly elevate a space, adding both calm and confidence. Whether printed large on metal for a sleek gallery feel or on canvas for a warm, tactile presence, this artwork transforms any room into a place of intention and style.

Found my brother’s jacket in the hall closet today. It’s remarkably similar to my own—different color and brand, but both are fleece zip-ups embroidered with “San Francisco.” We bought them on the same trip more than ten years ago when he, Dad, and I drove the Pacific Coast Highway starting in San Francisco.
That trip gave us so many good memories. Best of all, his jacket fits me. My own has always been a favorite, and now his will be treasured too. ❤️

A black fleece jacket with a gray collar is hanging on a wooden hanger. The jacket features a zip-up front and two side pockets. It has embroidered text that says "San Francisco" and includes a design element above the text. The background shows a windowed door.

Is there someone in the Bay Area who is interested in buying a Nikon CoolScan 8000ED with a Mac Mini set up to run NikonScan? (I access it though my modern Mac and can show you how.. much better than Vuescan.)

I have a 35mm and medium format tray as well.

I’m loathe to part with it but I’m downsizing and don’t have any free time to scan film anymore.

$1500, got it straight from Frank Phillips. Hard to ship so prefer an SF pickup. Posting this here before I put it on photomarket / photrio / fredmiranda.
