Since I said goodbye to my scooter, I’ve been walking a lot more in the city. I love walking to work. But do you know what I like even more? Taking the cable car. And so, for the first time in 3 years, I bought a bus pass that enables me to take the cable car regularly… especially uphill.
When I ride the cable car I feel as much of a tourist as any other foreign (to SF) passenger, which makes me want to take pictures. Recently I also got hooked on a nifty little iPhone app called ToonFX Paint. It pretty much cartoonifies any image you take and you can colorize it later.
You then get neat little effects like this…
View from the cable car, up California St.
I preferred to keep the images black and white.
Looking down California St. towards Financial District.
Cable Car wannabe’s (yep, they’re buses).
Looking out on Jones st.
What a fun ride home.
love this pictures – you can do a lot with this..hmmm but i got only a htc handy :-(
awesome pictures. I love these effects. thanks for sharing this app. btw i used to ride the cable car a lot the first months i came to sf and i loved how the cable car men treat the locals different and talk to people and make jokes some times …
Geli – ah yes, I don’t know what would work on an HTC…
Visda – totally! Those cable car drivers know who’s who. They’re so funny… it’s such a great way to start and end the day.
Et bien moi, je n’aime pas car je n’arrive pas à voir en tant que photos mais je les vois plutôt en tant que images fantaisies.
Mais c’est sympa !!!
Tu dois te régaler dans le cable car. Il est temps que tu joues à la touriste à SF
Plein de bisous de ta moumounette
