The band and Mothersbaugh provide insight and history into this unique artist.
See San Francisco by Victoria Smith, Chronicle Books, 160 pages, $27.95.
Exploring San Francisco is best done with a local's guidance and Victoria Smith is the perfect expert for that tour. As a long time blogger on design and lifestyles (SF Girl By Bay) Smith provides a very personal perspective on the many neighbourhoods that make up the mosaic of this cosmopolitan city.
Smith divides her tour into 18 different areas. Each one is introduced with some background history, how it evolved and what it offers today to both the visitor and the resident. What follows is a photographic tour that highlights the personality of the location through its architecture, shops, parks and street scenes. Smith's photography brings out the quirky details and presents them with a pastel coloured choice of subjects. Knob Hill, Chinatown, Haight-Ashbury, North Beach and all the rest are lovingly captured and shared with Smith's unique viewpoint.
