The Streets Of San Francisco: Photos By Jake Ehrlich
The Streets Of San Francisco
Photos By
Jake Ehrlich
I took all the shots in this series with me iPhone 3Gs, which takes much, much better photos than my original iPhone. The whole point of having a camera in my iPhone is that I shouldn't have to carry around a separate point & shoot.
This first shot is great because the little kid was so cute!!!
I took this next shot in front of the Marina theater and I thought it was supremely ironic that the dude with the mohawk was sitting, reading with the sign behind him that reads "Capitalism. A Love Story."
I was having a hard time deciding which way I liked this photo better: cropped or un-cropped so I put up both...
I shot this photo on the bus, since on my way to Jury Duty. I was tripping on how thrashed this dude's laptop was, and in particular, I was tripping on how he had used duct-tape as a hinge!?!
I haven't taken a bus in San Francisco for many years and I was tripping on how many people had iPhones!!!!! In this next photo, all three girls on the left side have iPhones and they are all ADDing out on them. Also the dude standing up in the center-right has his white fashion-victim iPhone earbuds on.
Something in this photo caught my eye, but by the time I got into position to take the photo everybody was staring at me ;-))) Kind of funny!!!
This next shot was kind of interesting. I took it in front of the Coffee Roastery on Chestnut Street and I thought it was fascinating that the shop was closed, but the sign said open.
I was having a drink with a girlfriend of mine on her 37th Birthday. Actually, I don't really drink so I was having water and she was drinking a Cosmopolitan. When she left to go to the bathroom at the Balboa Cafe, I took this shot. Strangers In The Night, exchanging glances, wondering in the night, what were the chances...
This next shot speaks for itself in a wild-monkey-dance kind of way ;-))))
When I was serving on Jury Duty at the San Francisco Hall Of Justice, I noticed the payphones were removed from and I thought this made a bold declarative statement about modern San Francisco society–since everybody has an iphone ;-)))
This last shot seems kind of self-explanatory to me. Cigarettes, put out on-top of a garbage can. You get the idea...

The Spanish Riding School of Vienna...
The Spanish Riding School of Vienna troop of 30 Dancing Lipizzaner stallions were rescued by U.S. General George Patton 63 years ago. The Lipazzaner breed has existed for over 425 years.
The Spanish Riding School of Vienna was founded in 1572, and the school maintains equestrian traditions and skills passed on for centuries, dating back to ancient Greece and refined in Vienna over hundreds of years.
In war-torn Austria during World War II, the school and its horses stood at the brink of destruction, but General Patton's 2nd Cavalry saved them. The story was recreated in the 1963 Disney film "Miracle of the White Stallions," starring Robert Taylor, Eddie Albert and James Franciscus, and released on DVD a few years ago.

Gallery 291 Review with Video...
Jim Marshall, the Rock photographer had his first Whiteside Gallery show 30 years ago–back in July of 1978.
Since then Jim has had 3 great books of his work published, all of which have been very successful.
He is currently having the largest show of his career in the new San Francisco photo gallery named Gallery 291, located at 291 Post Street.
Gallery 291 is owned and operated by Ed Carey, who is a very talented photographer in his own right.

Over the years I have spent much time in other photo galleries and I must say I have never experienced a photography studio that is as well designed and laid out as Ed Carey's Gallery 291.
Ed has paid attention to every single detail and left no stone unturned.
As you can see from the video and photos, Gallery 291 has spectacular views of Union Square, which in many ways is as interesting to look at as the photos on the wall.
I must say I am extremely impressed with what Ed Carey has done with putting together his brilliant new Gallery 291.
It is also amazing how much it reminds me of the original Whiteside Gallery, not just because he is having a show with Jim Marshall, but because it is so similar to the Original Whiteside Gallery in layout and concept.
Jim Marshall's photographic portfolio is wide and broad. The center image above of Miles Davis is incredible.
Jim is probably most famous for his photos of Musicians, Primarily Rock & Roll, as well as Jazz.
The following Jim Marshall Photos are available for viewing and purchase at Gallery 291:
Jimmy Hendrix
Johnny Cash
Miles Davis
Bob Dylan
Gallery 291 is located at 291 Geary Street, San Francisco, Califorina 94102. The phone number is (415) 291-9001. Email is info@gallery291.com. Website is Http://www.gallery291.net
Jim Marshall's show has been extended to run through the 4th of July weekend 2008.
