Today’s Photo 101 is all about seeing double. I remembered this photo I took the last time I was at The Cannery, a historic landmark located near San Francisco’s Fisherman’s Wharf. Over a century since its opening, the facility is now being used as galleries for the Academy of Art University. The third floor was deserted when I went up there, giving me a chance to shoot this unusual angle.
Due to Fleet Week and the Blue Angels airshow, I spent most of the past Saturday wandering around San Francisco. Like the hundreds of thousands of other tourists, I went to Fisherman’s Wharf for a front row view…though I later retreated back up to an alley near Lombard Street where there were less people. Good times.
The part in the back that most tourists completely ignore…
Just a quiet afternoon near Fisherman’s Wharf.
The Cannery on a weekday is probably the quietest part of Fisherman’s Wharf. The facility is a gorgeous bit of San Francisco history, but this table outside of the ice cream shop is what caught my eye.
Another week, another challenge. Unlike the previous bird, it took some sneaking, but I managed to get a close-up.
One more thing for the night. I was just going through the photos I’ve taken this summer in San Francisco, and came across this fellow from Fisherman’s Wharf. There are many more pictures to come…
