City Lights.  Leica Monochrom.  2016.

One of the very best things about San Francisco is City Lights Booksellers & Publishers. Every time I walk by this iconic location, I’m drawn back in time. Back to the days when ideas mattered more than pictures, back to the Howl trial in 1957, back to a time of hope & promise. City Lights is the beating heart of San Francisco’s radiant soul.  “Holy the supernatural extra brilliant intelligent kindness of the soul!” – Allen Ginsberg
