i live here:sf.
a little while ago, i was invited by the lovely and talented photographer, julie michelle, to participate in her photographic story telling project i live here:sf. julie took me out to one of my favorite spots, macondray lane from armistead maupin’s famed san francisco series tales of the city, and took a series of photographs of me.
i was nervous, but julie put me at ease and we had a great time wandering around russian hill shooting pics. she then asked me to write my san francisco story. i am happy and honored to share how i came to live in san francisco, and be a part of julie’s project! so pop on over to julie’s beautiful blog i live here:sf if you’d like to read more. thanks julie!!
Wow i really like it!!!
I love this kind of things …
♥ Elena, the spanish one
i really enjoyed reading your story. i’ve been here for 13 years, read tales of the city and never knew of macondray lane-so thank you! i met you a couple of months ago at the ‘stitch’ party [i was a guest of annie g], and now i adore your blog. :)
thank you elena~
hi rachael! thanks so much for reading! :)
What a great combo of SF girls ~ and lovely images too! Must of been odd being on the other side of the lens, eh?
melissa – yep – not really my comfort zone, but i did my best! :)
Russian Hill is a magical place, and that is a charming photo of you there :^)

cathie – it seems weird, but i wasn’t scared or nervous at all. i felt very happy here. still do!

I got tears in my eyes reading your story – so inspiring, thank you. And beautiful pictures!
LOVE those books. Did you know they are musical based on Tales of the City? It’s going to be at ACT. Can’t really imagine it, but will probably see it out of pure curiosity!
