San Francisco Embarcadero

I was just going through some of my vacation photos and reprocessed one of the San Francisco Embarcadero. This stretch of shoreline used to be a multilevel highway that collapsed in the 1989 earthquake hitting San Francisco in October, during the World Series of Baseball. During my bus tour of San Francisco the guide pointed out that when the city politicians were deciding on a rebuilding plan, they opted for a ground level highway with tourist attractions. It's quite beautiful and a delight to walk.

Part of the reason for that is because it's mostly all new.

Re: San Francisco Embarcadero

It should be obvious by now that I pride myself on the quality of my photographs. I checked online with Google to see what was out there taken of this same scene. I feel my rendition is many times better that what is available online. I should be making postcards. LOL

I reckon if you offered your services, you would be snapped up immediately, Bob.

They would make excellent greetings cards (birthday, Christmas etc) too.

What I tell people is that I'm a photographer not a salesman or a businessman. If I could find someone to market my wares We could probably make a tidy sum. When I bring up that point the room usually gets very quiet.

What a shame, you have so much to offer with your photography...
