Eclectic selection.
From action videos, to Christian art to what looks like an Eliot Porter photo poster, everything was on sale from this lovely Chinese lady.

Opening time
So when do you open, then?
This rather crass midwestern, bleached blonde was loudly insisting the restaurant open early just for her, but my eye was attracted to the lovely brunette, wishing she was elsewhere.

Centerfolds
Complete with bouncer.
Doubtless one of these days I will have my teeth handed to me.

Al’s Attire
Bespoke.
Located on Grant Street in the heart of North Beach, you can get shoes, boots and clothing hand made here. Truly bespoke work.
Leathers.
Beautiful shoe selection.
The dressmaking area.
Measuring a customer for new boots.
The house pup – as decent an egg as you will meet.
Shoe lasts and tools.
Tools of the trade.
Cobbler at work. Nothing beats the 17mm Zuiko when the light source is in the frame.
Assorted leather goods.
The owner was so taken with my GX7 that I encouraged him to try it out, telling him he would not hear the electronic shutter. After he pressed the button thrice I told him he had it, as I posed in the lovely afternoon sun:
Me at Al’s Attire. I have looked better.
All snapped on the Panny GX7 with the 17mm Zuiko except the first (G1, kit zoom) and the third (Nikon D3x, 35mm f/1.4 Nikon G AF-S).
Enhanced indexing of this site
Finding things made easier.
As the archive of articles here has grown, finding things has become harder. Browsing for fun also became trickier than it should be.
Accordingly, I have enhanced the masthead links to provide indexing of articles.
Click on ‘Indexes’ and you now get:
Click on ‘Photographers’, for example, and you will see:
Click on ‘Book Reviews’ and you will see:
Further, the many technical articles here have now been grouped under ‘Technical’ in the masthead:
Each of the drop downs has its own index once you click on it.
Combine these new indexes with the topical, random, recent and archival sorts at the bottom of the page, together with the Search and Sitemap links at the top, and most things can be found fairly easily.
Enjoy!
