Vas and Danie

Last week some of my buddies from the Daily Illini, Vas and Danie, came up to see San Francisco, and enlisted me as their guide. Danie recently graduated from Columbia Journalism Grad School and just moved to the Bay Area to be closer to Vas, who works in San Jose as a journalist. So this was my chance to make icky cute photos of them seeing the city.

We started off at a beach near my house. Danie quickly realized that the bay is cold as hell.

I took them down to north beach and we stopped by City Lights Bookstore, a local favorite.

Near the end of the day we were on the hunt for a cable car. We jumped on one at Fisherman’s Warf, but only took it for two stops or so, so we wouldn’t have to walk as far back to our car.

I posed the pair for a few shots while walking back down the hill to our car.

After dinner, we made it out to the Golden Gate Bridge. There was barely any light in the parking lot we went to, but thankfully there were some car headlights to work with.
