7 by 7 by nine – pride (in color)!

This week for 7 by 7 by nine I am celebrating a weekend I missed out on, Pride!

I was sick for few days, than out of town the next week so I mia during the wonderful pride festivities that took place is this amazingly diverse (to a point) city. Anyone who has ever been in San Francisco during pride week knows that this is a time of the year when all the rainbows you could possibly want can be found, and not just in the Castro. Pants, cars, houses, donuts; if you want it you can get it.

Some of my favorite prideful colors on Flickr…

7 by 7 by nine – Polaroids!

What’s on the plate this week for 7 by 7 by nine? Polaroids!

There’s something about Polaroid cameras and prints that just scream summer. Maybe it’s the beauty in the washed out colors, the mystery of the artifacts and imperfections and the patience practiced while waiting to relive your captured moment. They force you to take a few minutes to smile and live in the now, and that’s a great thing to do every once in a while.

J♥ and I have 3 Polaroid cameras in our home, scaled back from the 5 or 6 we had when we first started living together, but we don’t take them out half as often as we should. Fortunately there are truly devoted fans of the Polaroid spreading their love all over the world.

Some that I am loving from Flickr…

Do you love Polaroids and the wonderful devices that produce them? Why or why not?

7 by 7 by nine – Architecture!

Introducing this weeks 7 by 7 by nine, Architecture!

San Francisco is tops in building facade and interior variety, from the modern with their straight edges and 90 degree angles to the Victorians, thoroughly ornamented and curvaceous.

There isn’t a day when some new building or detail doesn’t grab my attention, and I am not the only one who notices these beauties. Here are a few of my favorites from flickr:

Simon Blint, Director of Visitor Relations at the SF MOMA, Yeah You Jerk, Photography is Not a Crime

What’s your favorite building where you are?
