skylines and sunsets

a couple of shots from a lovely evening, and several others from a place in sf with one of the best views of the city i've seen (the pictures dont do it justice) which turned out to be the daytime studio of an artist who's name i proceeded to forget over the course of the night. i scoured fecal face for his name but failed to find anything, so if anyone reading this recognizes his work from the last photo let me know who he is so I can redeem my memory for its epic failure to remember names

playing on the tracks

some pictures from a beautiful day in oakland on the train tracks behind my place, lots of awesome graffiti and scrap metal

could i be italian?

i got this image of Annibale Carracci's The Butcher Shop from my roomates mom (she's a professor of art history at northwestern), couldnt help noticing that the guy with the scales and the white shirt looked a hell of a lot like me. the resemblance is uncanny, causing me to wonder if the Dangles family line every dipped on over to italy in the 1580's...
