Africa...San Francisco Photos (2005)...
We arrived in San Francisco on Saturday the 9th of July 2005 following a 11:00am Virgin flight from London Heathrow. We stayed at the Hotel Vintage Court on Bush Street with Tammay's mother Kim, and Allen.
I decided to shoot with black & white film while I was in San Francisco and these can be seen below, followed by some holiday snaps.

We headed back to San Francisco Airport on the 12th of July 2005 to pick up our rental car. We then drove to Lee Vining (via a town called Tracy and a number of outlet stores!) to start our photography couse with Michael Frye in Yosemite National Park
