I spent the day in San Francisco photographing several different locations with Dali, and Alex. We ended the day here at St. Ignatius Church. I have wanted to photograph this church since I first saw it all lit up from a top Twin Peaks last year. It was worth the wait! It was another great day spent with friends with fantastic weather, in one of my favorite cities in the world.
For the History buffs:
St. Ignatius Church. This is the 5th such church to be built in San Francisco. This present day church was built in 1912 and dedicated in 1914. It is located on the campus of University of San Francisco.
The present church’s architecture is a mix of Italian Renaissance and Baroque elements, and its floor-plan follows that of ancient Roman basilicas. Though Saint Ignatius Church survived the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake unscathed, it was recently renovated and seismically reinforced. One of the city’s largest churches, its location on a hilltop as well as its twin spires and dome makes it a prominent San Francisco landmark.
