the green building in the foreground is directly across the street from my favorite restaurant in San Francisco.

House of Nanking.They have the best calamari in the world. and if you time your arrival right,the owner, Mr. Fang, will seat you, ask if you have any food allergies, refuse to hand out menus, and then decide what you should eat that evening. It’s always a great experience, because he is a food-genius.

Nice one. I have the same two buildings in my picture, but a wider shot because I’m too focused on the ‘functional’ side… ugh. Any idea where I can acquire a little bit of an artistic eye?

Erik, I have a wider shot also – http://travelphotos.amateurtraveler.com/USA/California/San-Francisco/i-LHNTVck/0/XL/IMG4256-XL.jpg. As I was saying “think like a filmmaker”. Take your wide shot, your medium and your close up.

Love the contrast of the two buildings, great shot… @Jessi I will love to go to the restaurant you mentioned, I hate ordering food, it will be great to have someone else make that decision for me… Sound fun!:)
