Introducing cable car girl: my SF photo shoot

I had heard about the project ‘I live here in SF’ a couple of months ago and I felt an instant connection to the author, tangobaby. When we met, we shared so many different experiences of the same city. We talked about movies, restaurants, and hidden alleyways. She made me feel very comfortable doing my first San Francisco photo shoot with her.

A year ago, I started writing cable car confessions, which has been a wonderful way of capturing the magic of this city, the interesting people we meet, and their unique stories. This is why I wanted to be photographed for her San Francisco project. It allows us all to meet the locals of SF and discover what their neighborhoods’ mean to them. 

Seven years ago, this city had a pull for me. I would visit on weekends and sit in at the Crepe House on Polk Street to people watch and wish I was living here. As San Franciscans, we all have roommates, love connections, strange experiences, tough times, food suggestions and muni stories to share.

Last week, Tangobaby and I did a photo shoot around my neighborhood. We went down to the end of the cable car line to find an empty car. We asked the conductor (he’s in one of the photos) if we could use the cable car for our blogs. I really like the photos on the cable car, but let me tell you a little secret. While we were taking the pictures, there was another conductor taking a cat nap on the inside of the cable car. 

Enjoy, let me know what you think and tell me the stories and memories that these pictures bring. Without further ado...introducing cable car girl
