2005 San Francisco Bay Guardian Best of the Bay

I shot the Readers' Poll section of Best of the Bay this year. Eight photographs in total were published.

Cafe Gratitude - Best New Restaurant. Owners Matthew and Terces Engelhart.

Leo Pribble at Ixia, a winner of Best Flower Shop

The Du Jour Sisters at Zeitgeist, home of the Best Bloody Mary. Oh, that would be my roommate and her sister at 9.30am on a Sunday.

The Eagle Tavern - Best Bar for Queer Men, more than a few friends in this photograph, including Barbara and her roommate.

Yes it's Barbara's Mom, Katsuko Kaio, and Akita puppy Sakura, at Dolores Park, voted Best Dog Park.

The Lusty Lady, Best Strip Club.

X-21 is a wild and strange furniture store on Valencia, voted Best Used Furniture Store by the readers of the Guardian.

And finally, Pat's Garage was voted Best Mechanic, at least if you drive a Honda, Subaru or Acura. He doesn't do Jeeps.
