The Scenic Route.

49-Mile Scenic Drive opened in 1938 for the 1939 Golden Gate International Exposition. The number 49 represents the square-mileage area of the city and the year (1849) San Francisco was established. The drive covers San Francisco’s famous sites and historical neighborhoods. Some people know about this drive, which is marked by signs with a seagull. But the drive is long… really long. It takes four hours to drive without stopping. And the signs are not always accurate, so the only way to truly follow the route is with a map. Only one small and little known publishing company makes such a map. This is the beginning of a really long-term project which I hope to continue each time I return to San Francisco… who knows, maybe I will never finish it. My goal is to use this project as an opportunity to explore and push my vision. Time will tell.
