Business Trip. I arrived a day early to ride the cable car and take photos. The weather was perfect, the city was filled with wonderfully crazy people and I felt only mildly guilty about leaving Kei at home on a Sunday with the boys.

Warning – many photos follow and not one of them includes my children. Shocking.

View of Union Square from my hotel room.

View from the cable car.

Alcatraz. I visited the prison back in 2008 and only wish I had had the time to do so again. Instead I settled for admiring from a distance.

Street entertainment.

Impressive ‘fro.

Cable car museum. Experimenting with slow shutter speeds to capture motion.

The closest I got to a self portrait and proof that I actually took the photos.

Love that I caught this kid mid-jump.
