One A Day - On This Day in 2007

San Francisco CA Chrissy Field

On this day in 2007 I was on my lunch and I saw this bird taking a bath in a mud puddle in Chrissy Field. I took 4 or 5 shots and this is the best one.

Also things are a bit busy and I didn't have time to queue up November so the One A Days won't be Once a Day for a bit. I am going to take a little break and come back with more photos here and there. Keep checking back, I'm not going away, just taking a break.

One A Day - On This Day in 2007

San Francisco CA San Francisco Comedy College

On this day in 2007 we went to see a friend perform at The Comedy College. His racket is Nerd Comedy so I usually get every joke. It's fun to live in The City because there is always something to do.

One A Day - On This Day in 2007

San Francisco CA St. Marks Church

On this day in 2007 we went to St. Marks. It was dog blessing day so many people had their dogs with them. I snapped this cute picture during the proceedings.

One A Day - On This Day in 2007

San Francisco CA Chinatown

On this day in 2007 the sky was awesome in San Francisco. I bet if I knew a bit about how to process HDR photos this would be a good one..

Novato CA Olaf's Backyard


On this day in 2007 Olaf invited us to his house for a BBQ. It was great fun and I took this great "portrait" of Olaf.

One A Day - On This Day in 2007

San Francisco CA Fort Mason Area

On this day in 2007 Donna and I went rollerblading in The City. We stopped to take a photo in front of this statue of Congressman Phillip Burton, who sponsored legislation that created the Golden Gate National Parks in 1972. I think she did a pretty good job of matching the pose.

One A Day - On This Day in 2007

San Francisco CA Lombard St. (the famous twisty part not the practical part)


On this day in 2007 I took a shot of the famous Lombard Street. It shows the twisty part in all of it's normal glory. Most photos of this street show it's beauty with maybe one lone car coming down but the reality is that on the weekends the line to drive this section of road blocks traffic (close to my neighborhood) all day long. People wait in line for close to an hour just to drive down it slowly. If you want to see Lombard Street (the twisty part not the practical part) walk it don't drive it.

One A Day - On This Day in 2007

The Presidio CA Presidio Bowl

On this day in 2007 we went to The Presidio Bowl for Jeff's birthday (happy birthday Jeff). Here you can see Leslie and Crystal teaching their son how to bowl. It was a really fun day. Thanks for putting it together Jeff.

One A Day - On This Day in 2007

San Francisco CA The Lumiere Theater


On this day in 2007 Donna and I went to the San Francisco premier of The King of Kong. It was being presented by the director. It is a great documentary about people trying to get the Donkey Kong high score. If you look closely you will see Billy Mitchel on the left. He is prominently featured in this film as the villain who will do anything to retain the high score. A week ago my post featured Billy in real life years before this film was made. If you haven't seen it I am sure you will like it if you read my blog.

One A Day - On This Day in 2007

San Francisco CA

On this day in 2007 I saw this sign. I always wonder if the sticker prevented anyone from going to the circus. I thought it was pretty funny. There are many other examples of these types of things at Hacked IRL. I am considering sending this in to them...

One A Day - On This Day in 2007

Somewhere between San Francisco and Half Moon Bay

On this day in 2007 our apartment needed to be shown to some potential building buyers and they knew we had 2 dogs but they didn't know we had 2 cats so I had to go for a drive with the cats during the 4 hour window that they could visit. Fox isn't a very good car rider so he whined and panted and threw up. It was the least relaxing drive to the coast I have ever had.

San Francisco CA Palace of Fine Arts

On this day in 2007 Jeff got a new camera so we went out at lunch to try it out. I had my camera too. His goal was to take some good photos and my goal was to take pictures of people taking pictures. This was one of the better picture taking poses.

One A Day - On This Day in 2007

San Francisco CA Ferry Building Farmer's Market

On this day Donna purchased some produce from Dirty Girl Produce at the Farmer's Market. We really like going there on Saturdays. The quality is great and you can get almost everything you need for a meal produced locally which is good.

One A Day - On This Day in 2007

San Francisco CA


On this day in 2007 Donna and I returned to one of our favorite restaurants the House of Prime Rib. This is kind of significant because less than a year earlier we were eating at the House of Prime Rib as tourists on our way to a wedding and this time we walked from our apartment. It was one of those moments that I can only explain by referencing working at Disneyland. If you ever worked at Disneyland you know the feeling. You ride Star Tours 100 times and on the day you get trained to work there you see it from all kinds of different angles and it looks like a totally different place.

San Francisco CA

On this day in 2007 we felt like we were being watched and we were. This dog has a better view from his apartment than we do.

San Francisco CA Crissy Field

On this day in 2007 Donna and I were spending time outside of work with coworkers for one of the first times up here. It was fun. It was our first SF BBQ, our first time to Crissy field and our first time really just hanging out. Thanks and Happy Birthday Devin!

San Leandro CA The Cherry Festival

On this day in 2007 we visited San Leandro for the cherry festival. You may have seen this photo already but I think it is one of my favorites so I am putting it up again. I hope that when I am his age I am still snapping photos with the intensity that he is showing.

One A Day - On This Day in 2007

San Francisco CA

On this day in 2007 Donna and I took one of our first cable car rides together. June 2007 was the first month that we actually had our Muni passes which allows us to ride cable cars and buses all we want.
