The Golden Gate Bridge & San Francisco Scenes

Here are a few of my favorite images that I’ve photographed from around San Francisco.

The Golden Gate Bridge in Fog – taken from the Marin Headlands turnoff at about 9:00AM, just as a heavy fog layer was burning off in the morning sun:

Golden Gate Bridge with Bicycle. This was taken from Fort Point, pre 9/11/2001. Today this shot would not be possible because the area is fenced off due to security issues. This is also where Alfred Hitchcock’s Vertigo was filmed. Remember the scene where Kim Novak jumps into the bay?

Walking across the bridge on a foggy morning. That’s the sun shining through the fog:

A typical San Francisco scene shot on a walk from North Beach to downtown. Just to the right, out of the frame, is the famous City Lights book store made famous in the ’50s as a hangout for beatnik poets like Jack Kerouac. Featured is the Sentinel Building, currently owned by Francis Ford Coppola.

“Painted Ladies” Victorians from Alamo Square:

These were all taken at different times in the last decade but they seem to work well together as a series. Thanks for looking!

If you are interested in prints of any of these images, please contact me as I do sell prints!

I am interested in purchasing a copy of your print “Painted Ladies.” It is by far the most exquisite print of that row I have seen. Please email me purchase information. I am looking for a print to give my wife for Christmas. We were in San Francisco on a vacation over Labor Day weekend and absolutely loved it.

Thank you

I’m a friend of Robin Dolan’s and an aspiring photographer. It’s fun to see what others do. I’ve been over the bridge hundreds of times, but I’ve never see it quite like that. You captured a BEAUTIFUL foggy day.

I appreciate you stopping by and leaving a comment Jendi! Robin and I were in the same high school class back in the day.
