San Francisco, CA 1-25-2014

On 1-25-2014, I joined a photowalk in San Francisco, CA with Chris Chabot and took many photos. I am here to show you the photos I took on the trip. I shot photos in Chinatown, Grace Cathedral, and other places in San Francisco. These are my first photos of 2014.

Message From the Photographer: I decided to take a small break from my SF Bay Area to Vancouver, BC road trip photos as these photos are more recent and Chinese New Year was recently celebrated. I hope you enjoy viewing the photos.

Getting ready for Chinese New Year. Here is a photo of paper lanterns in Union Square Park. 

Starting the walk toward Chinatown, here is a photo shot at Post Street and Grant Avenue.

Now I get to St. Mary's Square in Chinatown where I think they were practicing for the annual Chinese New Year parade.
