Those are beautiful photographs, especially the second is a stunning composition!

I love that really strange photo of the "meatmarket-in-a-wall", ther first photo from the Richmond District series

Beautiful shot (First one) of one of our handsomest scyscrapers in stainless steel and glass

Very tasteful picture postcards of un-touristy areas of San Francisco!

I recommend Zahc's youtube presentation to which link leads. It's shows the wonderful caleidoscope of moods, colors, light, buildings, streetcars, people of all races and sexes and persuasions, that San Francisco is. I love this city, and Zahc's pictures keep inspiring me to go out and experience it all anew.

name='Zahc' date='Jul 28 2009, 01:30 PM' post='1081318'] Zahc, you are one of the best photographers at Urban Planet! Some of your pictures leave me speechless. What sets you apart from many other photographers on this website, is that you include the human element in your photographs. Cities are full of architecture, yes, but people inhabit them. I know this place you depict here. It's a place where junkies hang out and shoot up, while the rest of the population sits in the restaurant and view the scene that plays out outside the display window. Here the homeless junkie is passed out, and the pigeons go about their daily routine. This picture is not melodramatic, to me, inspite of the tragic subject matter. Like these pigeons, you see and depict life just as it is, without judging or becoming maudlin. This is the reasons your photographs are so powerful. Again, you remind me so much of my favorite Japanese movie director, Ozu. Thank you Zahc, for your beautiful ART.

Wonderful composition of the play of light and shadow. I didn't know there were columns made out of brick. Those must be curved bricks. Really interesting...

I'm glad you photographed this building. I think it has wonderful proportions.
