“There was a single blue line of crayon drawn across every wall in the house. What does it mean? I said. A pirate needs the sight of the sea, he said & then he pulled his eye patch down & turned and sailed away.”
– Brian Andreas

andrea,
we own that brian andreas print. it’s my partners favorite of his.
this picture is great. you have this way of always making sf look like a magical place. amlost like an amusement park i’ve never been to and really want to go see.
thanks for the pirate supply store link. i will give it to my partner. she secretly thinks she is a pirate.
Your pictures always make me want to move to SF. This one may be my all time favorite. Amazing. And the pirate link, so cool. The company I work for has a pirate as a logo.
The superhero link didn’t work though…
Magical picture Andrea! My Powerpuff Girls calendar for May has a picture of the Golden Gate Bridge on it. 🙂
What an amazing image of the Golden Gate Bridge! It looks so magical. The pirate supply store link sound very cool too …I’ll have to check it out. And I love Brian Adreas artwork and words. This quote is just beautiful…Great post. Thanks for sharing.
oh the pirate store is really cool. I’ve sent the link to a friend of mine who made a short film ‘Peg Leg Pete’ which was about an unemployed pirate trying to get work to buy a new pirate ship. Many misadventures as his hook made it diffiult to wash windows or be a barrista…
this photograph is magical.
and that quote. i bought two of his story people books in amsterdam a few years ago.
this is one of my favourite thoughts. just because of the smile it puts on my face, each and everytime.
thank you. for sharing it today.
oxo.
I LOVE KARL! if you haven’t seen it yet, there are movies of the pufferfish, Karl.
and it totally made my night. thank you.
Andrea,
Great bridge photography.. I never thought of taking a picture of one at night..
I just got Brians new book Traveling Light.. it is awesome.
I met him when he was visiting Tampa a couple years ago and bought the cat at the piano one.
Aunt Ruth says hi from Seattle.
Lori
oh no. until now i never realised that i needed to work in the field of pirate outfitting.
i obviously will need to find out more about the uses of lard in the near future. and then i will sail across oceans and fight scurvy and eventually arrive in San Francisco.
Avast there Mateys!
