Jeff Halpern, aka Halpo, moved to San Francisco weeks before the
the Loma Prieta Earthquake in 1989. The Stanford grad was shaken but not
deterred from life among the fog horns, gourmet delis, French bakeries,
world class arts, and breathtaking scenery by the bay. Halpo is seen here
in one of his favorite places, his quintessential San Francisco service
porch. A terrace, verandah, or deck by any other name is a sacred place
to the San Franciscan. Halpo's, overlooking center gardens in a block near
the Palace of Fine Arts, is among those intimate places where San Franciscans
sneak cigarettes, share secrets, or simply commune with the their own unique
and private views. This one looks out over the Presidio and Golden Gate
Bridge, though Halpo's deck is only a slip of a thing with enough room
for the recycling and a sigh in the golden sunset. |
