Time Lapse Video of San Francisco: What We're Thankful For

1 decade 4 months 3 weeks ago

Via Vimeo: There were a lot of long nights and early mornings, most of the time it was really cold and foggy. Living on top of a hill allowed me to look out and observe what the clouds, fog, and light would do. When it looked right, I went out and hoped for the best.
This time lapse took about a year to put together. I chose "Paradise" because San Francisco is that to me. You can be in the heart of an urban jungle one minute, and the next you can be at the beach enjoying the sunset. I guess that's what makes San Francisco unique, and well, perfect. I know I didn't cover every part of SF in this piece, but I hope that this gives you all a better idea of the beauty that this city has. It was pretty fun putting this piece together and I'm looking forward to making another soon.
Cheers and enjoy!

Via SF Weekly: While San Francisco isn't always paradise -- Muni delays, poop on the sidewalk, and rent prices -- we are still very thankful to call the City home.

We love our fog (Karl), the fact we're on the edge of the ocean, the diversity, the Painted Ladies, the food scene (farmers markets included), the unique neighborhoods, our parks, the cable cars (although we rarely ride them), the fact the City responded to the overturn of Prop 8 and repeal of DOMA like this -- and so much more.
So today, we're sharing this time-lapse video from Matt Manigelo, who filmed the City over an 11-month period, capturing scenes of S.F. that he thought people may be missing.

"The times I was shooting, most people would either be in bed, on a train/bus, or in their cars, stuck in traffic," says Manigelo. "I chose to get up before the sun did, and go to sleep long after the sun set."

After filming the City from various vantage points and different hours, he's come to the conclusion that his favorite view of S.F. is from the top of Mt. Davidson.

"It's a lot quieter than Twin Peaks or Bernal Hill. It also has a fallen giant, 'That SF Tree', a San Francisco icon in the photography community."

But we're lucky enough to be in a city where there really is no bad view. Happy Thanksgiving, San Francisco.
