The Saturn Steps are the quickest way on foot to get from my home down to the Castro District and the subway to downtown.  A few weeks ago, this chair appeared outside one of the cottages along the steps.  I’ve been re-exploring film lately, carrying my old 35 mm film camera to and from work.  Hiking up the hill on my first afternoon of this regime, the light seemed right to grab this shot.

Scanning old black and white negatives I came across this one, which I am posting–a couple of days late–in honor of my sister Katherine’s birthday.  That’s her on the right, dancing with her husband Arthur to music from the car radio.  My wife is looking on.  Don’t recall why the flagman had stopped us, but we obviously thought we would be there for a while.
