Maximum SAN FRANCISCO - 92 photos from all over the city!

[MJPhilly]

Two weeks ago was a crazy travel week for me. After some city-hopping in Houston, Austin, Sacramento, I wound up in San Francisco. Hopefully I'll get a chance to post some pics from those other cities.

My work in San Fran on Friday August 11 only took a couple hours, and I had intentionally scheduled the redeye flight so I could have some time to walk around the city during the day. So, with about 10 hours to kill, this is what I came up with. Hope you enjoy them.

Awesome! :yes: :cheers:

[Cory]

I'm likin this MJ.

[urbanflyer]

These are absolutely gorgeous. Crisp, clear and you just can't beat the subject.

[columbusOHsam]

Shiver me timbers... that was amazing!

[Paintballer1708]

Some of those downtown shots were great. Nice job, MJ.

[EastBayHardCore]

very nice.

[POLA]

Now, that's a city folks! Great shots, thanks for sharing them.

[ltsmotorsport]

Great vibe in your shots. Are we gonna see some pics of Austin and Sactown from you too?

[thenewsupastar]

A grand, funky and fantastic city for sure.

[ColDayMan]

Great job, Matt!

[KevinFromTexas]

Cool pics MJ. San Francisco is so neat.

[blade_bltz]

Fantastic. Although I love being at home in Boston, I cannot wait to get back to the Bay to see the CITY.

[Cigarettes and Guns]

Good shots, but I feel tricked by the way he said "from all over the city!" because these are only from a portion of the city.

[giallo]

Wow, MJ, excellent pictures. SF is no slouch.

[MJPhilly]

First off, thanks for the comments everyone.

Great vibe in your shots. Are we gonna see some pics of Austin and Sactown from you too?
I really only took a few driveby snaps in Austin (although there's a large set on my website here (http://www.skyscrapersunset.com/tours/060206.html)), but I did do a quick walk around the state capitol area in Sacramento. They might or might not be online, depending on how much new photography I do. But I'll try.

Good shots, but I feel tricked by the way he said "from all over the city!" because these are only from a portion of the city.
Now that I look at some city maps, I realize SF is bigger than I thought it was. But anyway, give an outsider a break. :)

Thanks again!

[Ex-Ithacan]

Bravo MJ. Helluva tour with beautiful pics. Of course the subject is a very photogenic rascal. How much do you think the blue house (covered with those beautiful shrubs) on Lombard goes for? Since I'm asking prices, what did the massage cost ya?;)

Thanks for the pics, and look forward to some of your other stops (no matter how brief).:D

[Sacto]

Nice!

[Jay916]

WOW! Great Pics!!

[Stanz]

Damn.

[Onward]

Such a unique city and the photos do it great justice.

[LSyd]

awesome.

"if you're goooing to saaan fraaanciscooo..." lol my mom often sings this scott mackenzie's song cooking..

btw, SF is a very charming city. this is my favourite US city.

[firulais]

Hey how come SSC is not working?

[keninhalifax]

That is one hell of a ten hours! It takes me at least that long to get down Colombus St. with all of its beautiful distractions! You are one talented photographer; thanks for the memories!

[BuildDenver4Ever]

I visited San Fran for the very first time back in April. It's a beautiful city! So impressed with city, people, and culture. Thanks for the tour!

[streetscaper]

vivid

[sf_eddo]

Wow!

Looks like you got around! You went to way more places in The City in ten hours than I have living here for 2 years (since I pretty much stay in a 2 mile radius around my apartment).

Great photos - I haven't seen Lombard shots in a while.

[jiaodagongjian]

http://www.skyscrapersunset.com/skyscrapercity/sf/060811/82.jpg

That was a great whirlwind tour, Matt. You did SF, and SF still respected itself in the morning.
