Sterility makes for opportunity.

The Moscone Center – named after the assassinated mayor – in San Francisco is probably best known for hosting the annual love-in where Steve Jobs previews the latest in Apple toys early each new year. It also hosts a playground which may be the most sterile I have ever seen, but that’s not all bad. It makes for interesting photo opportunities.

I was very much thinking of the work of Ludwig Schricker when snapping this.

No, I wasn’t there for an Apple love-in.
