There’s a strange atmospheric phenomenon peculiar to our location halfway up the North-American coastline, something that has shaped the romantic atmosphere of San Francisco since the very moment that it truly became a city. poems have been written about it, as well as songs and stories, and I aim to celebrate it too. You’ve probably caught on by now… it’s the San Francisco fog.

It’s a vital component of what gives the city… well, how can I say it any more clearly: it’s an essential component of San Francisco’s “atmosphere”. From the spooky alleys of film noir to shivering bonfires on the beach, the fog defines this city.
