Every Sunday the San Francisco Chronicle publishes a real estate section with stories about neighborhoods, properties, and trends in real estate, along with the regular listings. Late last year I was hired to photograph properties to accompany some of these stories. So far two of my assignments have been published; a cover story about Bay Area views, and a story about solar energy. Both are shown below. More to come…

I’m pleased to announce the launch of Grammy Award winner Roberta Flack’s new website. I designed the visual layout and Michael Waters of Studio 678 managed the web development. Visit www.robertaflack.com to check it out.

Roberta Flack is best known for her Billboard number one hit “Killing Me Softly with His Song.” She won three Grammy Awards in 1973 including Song of the Year. In 1999 the song was inducted into the Grammy Awards Hall of Fame. Check her out tomorrow night when she performs at the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards, 8pm on CBS.

Sunken City | San Pedro, CA

Where the sidewalk ends, literally…

From LAOKAY.com:

When they said that California would fall into the sea, they weren’t kidding! Well, at least that was the case of San Pedro, California. In 1929 a sizeable section of land in the southern tip of San Pedro began to unexplainably slip into the sea. The 600 block of Paseo Del Mar began moving seaward in 1929 and continued to slip until the mid 1930s. Movement was measured as high as 11 inches a day. Due to quick action, all but two of the houses on the seaward side of the street were moved before toppling into the sea. The eastern section of Point Fermin Park was lost and the entire area is very unstable, yet not moving at the present time. Geologists have termed this phenomenon as a “slump” and this area has been featured in many geological studies and books. This geological mystery also occurs about 4 or 5 miles up the coast from this spot at Portuguese Bend in Rancho Palos Verdes. The Portuguese Bend Slide Area is still moving and slipping into the sea. Sunken City is closed by chain link fencing, but may still be viewed at the south end of Pacific Avenue or the east end of Pt. Fermin Park at Paso Del Mar and Gaffey Street.

Stephen Wiltshire – Illustrator savant

leefenvisual — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 21:10:49 +0000

At the age of three Stephen Wiltshire of London was diagnosed with autism. Living within the walls of his own mind Stephen developed his love of drawing, first animals, then London buses and eventually cityscapes. Stephen, now 35, draws entire panoramic city-scapes from memory after only a 20 minute helicopter ride over the city. Stephen just finished a panorama of New York City at Pratt Institute which is just stunning.

To check out video of Stephen drawing his masterpieces and images of his amazing portfolio visit his website.
