I’ve been fascinated with the San Francisco hills since about age 10. That’s when I found the grandaddy of all chase scenes in the movie Bullitt. A 1968 big block Ford Mustang vs a 1968 Dodge Charger RT. Lombard Street San Francisco. Good guy vs bad guys. Double clutching, tire squealing, serious air.

Movie lines like this:
Chalmers: “Frank, we must all compromise.”
Frank Bullitt: “Bullshit.”
What 10 year old kid or 40-something photographer wouldn’t like that?

My daughter is a student at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities. As such, my wife, Nora, and I make the 4 hour drive from Sioux Falls to see her several times a year.

I’ve always loved the view of the Minneapolis skyline as you drive into the city from the south on I-35W. Especially when the city comes to life at dusk.
