Wanting to get a unique perspective of San Francisco, I made numerous trips to the city with my DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ "drone" to capture some of my favorite spots with this aerial camera. The view of San Francisco from the air is truly impressive. I hope you enjoy this 3 minute view over one of the greatest cities in the world.

visual arts

performance and literary arts

youth arts education

community development through the arts
