10 x 10 x 10

This evening, I attended the reception for the 10 x 10 x 10 photo exhibit at San Francisco City Hall. The exhibit features ten prints from 10 Bay Area photographers curated by ten photo editors.

Matcha at the Asian Art Museum

This past Thursday evening was the opening night of the latest Matcha parties at the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco. The event marked the opening week of the museum's latest exhibit: Lords of the Samurai. The event featured a Japanese tea ceremony, tea and sake tastings, arts and crafts activities, music and an opportunity to see the Lords of Samurai exhibit--all for $10 bucks.

Left Coast Style managed to find at least one or two styishly dressed attendees.

LCS is Back!

Hi everyone,

I've been on hiatus since January as I was brushing my photog skills by taking a photography class. Rest assured, I have returned to roaming the streets and events looking for stylish people to dispel the notion that my fair city lacks style!

Super Cute to Start the Year

Here's a great example of a San Franciscan making an effort that demonstrates that not everyone opts for the what's casual and comfortable. I love, love, love her outfit! The fringe trimmed coat, patterned hoisery and her hat show true style.

This photo was taken at the 16th Street BART station that goes to show that one needs to take the opportunity--regardless of the location--to get the shot.

I do apologize for the delay in posting. I finally managed to replace my old Canon S400 with a Canon SD880IS. Alas, it's not a Canon 5D Mark II, or at least a Nikon D90, but I hope to upgrade in the near future.

In the meantime, I'm taking a photography class this semester to obtain a better grasp of the technical aspects of photography and hopefully, the results will show. I'll be using my treasured Nikon film camera to learn the mechanics and to improve my composition.

LCS temporarily on hold

Hi everyone,

Left Coast Style is temporarily on hold until I can buy a new digital camera. My current digital camera had an electrical short so I will need to buy another.

I hope to start back up in January 2009.

Happy Holidays!

Mini and Maxi

We're still in the midst of our Indian summer here in San Francisco, though it's not always consistent as this past weekend, for example. Saturday was balmy while Sunday was the more typical cool, foggy weather. Today, we had a nice day.

I love the woman's outfit pairing a mini dress with over-sized sunglasses and hobo handbag.

Grant Street: Anne Fontaine

The ladies at Anne Fontaine were nice enough to allow me to take their photograph. Anne Fontaine tops on both women from the fall 2008 collection. The woman on the left is wearing Miss Sixty jeans and the woman on the right, True Religion denim.

Pinstripes

The young gentleman is wearing a pinstriped jacket and pants--but the jacket is leather, which he purchased in Russia.
