From Alta Plaza Park

Two women standing on a corner early this morning in San Francisco, talking about fundraising.

Should I take their picture?

No, the idea of taking their picture takes their picture for me.

People who live in places they like like taking pictures, while people who live in they don't like prefer to think of diet and religion, according to a story this morning in The New York Times.

It's a great privilege just to sit for a few moments on a bench in Alta Plaza Park and do nothing but watch gray clouds cover the city.
