Pastel Houses in San Francisco
 |
 |

 |
| There's a lot of 1950s era houses in San Francisco that are painted in a muted rainbow of pastel. They're less famous than the Victorians but probably comprise a great percentage of the city's housing stock and are no less vital to giving SF its look. At some point I need to explore the Westlake District, a Jetson's Era planned development just to the south in Daly City that's supposed to be the best example of the whole 1950s pastel thing. |
 |
| I have been living in San Francisco since the middle of December. Despite growing up in the Bay Area this is actually my first time living in SF. It's pleasant enough. I'm in Noe Valley [on Castro St.] |

| The new New Musuem's bathroom
I'm in New York for five days. I had a free JetBlue flight that was about to expire. Being January I'll be spending most of my time in museums and bars. Most of the New Museum is this very austere white and gray so I was a bit surprised when I entered the basement bathroom to find this riot of flowers and burnt orange. |
 |
| Afterwards I visited my friend Bryan who lives nearby [very close to my old place on Mulberry, in fact]. In his bathroom he's framed flyers he saved from Club Luxx back from 2002 when we were both new to New York. I like how the Scissor Sisters weren't even top billing. |

| Burned hills in Malibu from a vista point on Piuma Road near Saddle Peak |
 |
| Here's the same view in color. You can make out a house that burned down on the left-front cluster of houses, closest to the burnt section. For another view, pre-fire, check out 2006.08.11. I went up this road just a few days after I bought my Miata a couple of years ago. |
 |
| I was down in LA again for the weekend and Dad and I went for a drive on Sunday. The weather was perfect, as always, but the air was also perfectly clear and from up in the mountains we had a clear view of the entire basin--Palos Verdes, Catalina Island, Century City, Downtown and the snow-capped mountains to the east. |

 | Hi. I'm a 32 year-old American currently living in Buenos Aires. Before that I lived in California, Sao Paulo and New York and if you browse through the archives below you can see photos of all those places. I also have an old geocities page with some outdated information but also more photos of Buenos Aires, friends and my 9/11 pictures. |
