San Francisco encompasses a land area of approximately 48 square miles, also known as 7x7.  Renowned for its chilly summer fog, steep rolling hills, mix of Victorian and modern architecture and famous landmarks.

Taking advantage of a sunny Sunday afternoon, here are a few of famous landmarks you can check out in San Francisco if you have yet to see them.

Golden Gate Bridge | 360° | 100131

With the non stop rain we've been having here in the Bay Area, the sun was shining all weekend and I decided to take a drive along the coast of 101 in San Francsico.  From Crissy Fields to Baker Beach to Northbound 101 to the hills in Marin, here's one of the most famous bridges in the world in various angles.  It was a little bit hazy but was still a fairly nice day out.

Nick's Crispy Tacos | RussianHill-SF | 100131

If you haven't had Nick's Crispy Tacos in the Russian Hill District, it's worth the trip. Hands down the best tacos in the world, and it's still probably an understatement. This place is located on Broadway and Polk, and I can guarantee that you won't have a better taco anywhere else. When ordering, remember to get your taco "Nick's way"...it's a fiesta in your mouth!

Best I Ever Had like Drake..

This Is It | Filipino Inmates | 100126

Michael Jackson was a fan of the more than 1,500 Filipino inmates who performed the choreography for his video "Thriller" in 2007 and was an international youtube hit. If you haven't seen it, look it up.

MJ's choreographer Travis Payne flew to the Philippines to teach the inmates the moves that were suppose to be performed in MJ's "This Is It' tour, which is also documented in the DVD which comes out today. "The Drill" is the last scene Payne and Jackson worked on together before he passed.

Payne spent two hours on Jan. 17, and Jan. 18, teaching the dancers the routines from Jackson's "This Is It" film.

Pretty cool!

Madisyn-Taylor | 4yrs later | 100121

Almost 3 years ago, I met Madisyn-Taylor who just melted my heart the moment she gave me a hug. She was only 1 at the time and was already full of life. I rarely ever see her, but every time I get a chance to talk to her, her voice and enthusiasm make everything else insignificant. I may not see her grow in front of my eyes, but I’ve heard her grown to the coolest, smartest and most adorable little girl I’ve ever met. She has plenty of nicknames, Maddie from most, Little Princess to some, Booms to one. But I’ve always known and called her Little Angel because of the obvious, she’s heaven sent.

Happy Birthday Madisyn!!!!

Freedom Is My Soundtrack | 100113

New year comes with the typical new year's resolution. Most people would agree that music has always been a good remedy. From the rhythm, the harmony, the melody, combined with the sonic qualities of timbre and texture, it has always been a cure to get your mind away from the daily grind. Whether you're a person who sings out loud in the bathroom or on your drive to work. Or even if you're someone who loves to free yourself by doing an old school dance. Music has always been my beat to life, and without music, things will just be...dull.

So with the help of my brother, I will learn the art of working the wheels of steels. Be on the look out!

Pure Life! | To The New Decade | 100101

It's the new decade, and it's unreal to see how 10 years can fly by so quick!  If you didn't learn anything from the last decade, learn that the next 10 years will go by even quicker!

What better way to keep track of the next coming years than through deep within my own left eye. (also other aspiring, upcoming, & current photographers)

To the New Decade!
