Chinatown is one of my favorite neighborhoods to wander about in San Francisco.
I love to grab my camera and wander around the neighborhood and photograph whatever catches my eye.
It also give me a chance to have fun shooting, playing with different lenses, light, and my depth of field.
Everwhere you see pink grocery bags...
Everywhere in Chinatown...
Lady Liberty...
As you can see from this old gallery of my photographs on the
SF Gate, I 've been doing this for years and I am sure I will always will keep coming back to the streets of Chinatown for more photos.
A couple hundred people gathered at Lotta's Fountain at the corner of Market and Kearney on Sunday morning, April 18th at 5:12 am to commemorate the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and fire. The fountain served as a meeting point during after earthquake and fire and each year a ceremony is held at the fountain in remembrance. 
Compared to the thousands that were there on the 100th anniversary (which I also went to) it was a smaller crowd. This year the only survivor present at the annual anniversary gathering was 104-year old William Del Monte.
Its a touching event, with people gathered to honor the horrible event that almost destroyed the city completely. At the end, to show their pride in the city, everyone sang a rendition of "San Francisco."
