The Transamerica Pyramid (left) and The Flatiron Building, home to award-winning director Francis Ford Coppola's American Zoetrope postproduction facilities, as well as to Zap Zoetrope Aubry Productions. Although in this photo the buildings appear side by side, they are actually a considerable distance apart. The nine-story 1930s flatiron building, an historic landmark at 916 Kearny Street, borders North Beach and Chinatown. It also houses Coppola's Cafe Zoetrope.

Past and present. OutSTANDING!
I also wanted to let you know that I'm leaving blogging for a short while. I have a lot on my plate and creativity is taking over so nothing bad. I'll still be visiting around and commenting. I expect to be returning from time to time as I complete my writing and art projects. But for now, I need to focus only on this.
Blessings,
Annie
