I went to a screening of The Great Highway last night at Fort Mason.  It's a film directed by my friend Mark, narrated by my friend Jim and co-authored by the two of them.  They are two of the guys I've been doing recordings with over the last fifteen years or so and we had a couple songs in the movie.  It's a documentary about the history of surfing in San Francisco.

What a thrill.  The theater was packed and vocal.  It was exciting to see that they had captured something of cultural significance that would have otherwise probably been lost forever.  Cool, too, to hear the voices of gratitude afterward from the people who lived it.

The shadows being cast in this photo are from the Golden Gate Bridge.  I was thrilled when this guy rode the wave up into the sun and then turned back around for a descent into the shadows.  This is one from a series of nice shots I got of this particular ride.

WFSF.

That means Working From San Francisco in work-speak.  The team met in the SF office today rather than our normal Pleasanton digs.  The San Francisco office is pretty nice.  We had lunch at MarketBar, underneath those yellow umbrellas in the bottom right of the photo.  What a wonderful change of pace.

I took this photo a couple of nights ago in the rain.  I wasn't able to keep the lens dry enough for clear photos.  Even so, I like the colors.

I can't decide if I like this photo or not.  I wish I'd gotten a little more of the bridge on top.

It's too late for Merry Christmas, I guess, so Happy New Year!
