GAP invades

While visiting San Francisco, we went to Haight/Ashbury.  I have always taken tourists to this part of town, because it's like stepping back in time.  I haven't been there in several years, and much to my dismay, it's just not the same as it was.  We were there during the week, so the "weekend crowd" wasn't there to add to the experience, but the whole experience was ruined by the scene at the intersection.  GAP.  GAP at the corner of Haight/Ashbury.  How wrong is that?  It doesn't belong there.  I'd rather see a tourist shop there than GAP.   There was 1 "hippy" type store on the corner.  Not many in the area anymore.  No free spirits roaming the street (except in picture #3, he was a bit of a "free spirit" or......he had too many "spirits").  I was, and am still sad, and disappointed that GAP invaded.

The once famous corner:

I miss them!

We need to start a "bring the Aussies back to America" fund.  I misssss them!  Here are some more random pics from their trip.

Proofing

Ok, so I'm digging into the proofing of all these sessions.  I start my own business sessions back up tomorrow, so I need to get this all done this weekend. 

Thank you to those who are reading, and commenting.  It's fun to read your comments.  Someone a few posts back asked me about the train picture......the color of it.  These trains were at a childrens museum, and they weren't real, but like train "halves".  So they were brightly painted, orange, red and yellow. 

Here is a storyboard I just finished from that session.  Tif and her oldest son.
