The Beats and Streets of San Francisco

Life has been kind of crazy and I haven't been posting the blog as frequently as I like. So... an extra long post to make up some ground. These photos were made on a walk around San Francisco's North Beach neighborhood. North Beach is considered the birthplace of the Beat Generation and was the sometimes home to Jack Kerouac, one of my heros.

My favorite photo of Jack Kerouac and Neal Cassady seems to keep an eye on an international assortment of Kerouac first editions.
