Red's Java House, San Francisco



Red's has been a fixture on the waterfront since 1923 and a popular subject for art school sketching/painting classes. However that may soon change as the Warriors basketball team may relocate to San Francisco to a new stadium to be constructed for them on that Pier (30). Spokesmen for Red's were featured on the nightly news earlier in the week confirming the plans for the new stadium. Yesterday afternoon found me in the city with the 8x10 in the trunk and a parking spot a mere 50 yards away. So I parked and checked out the shoot with my Linhoff Lensfinder and spot meter. A middle-aged gentleman was sitting on the right hand side sketching the restaurant and the sun was providing the lighting from the west. So... shoot, why not?
