I had already decided some 20 years ago to drop San Francisco from my places to visit. I have enjoyed many great days and nights in San Francisco over the 39 years previous to the last 20. We haven't stopped there in the past 20 because of the gradual decline I observed coming about and reading about how bad it has become (indigents forcefully soliciting money, sleeping bodies on the sidewalks, public defecation and urination. All there for all to see and experience. I have friends whose car was broken into and their luggage and cameras stolen from the locked trunk a few years ago. Their mistake was putting the things in the trunk where they parked (for safe-keeping) when they left the car. Watching eyes stripped their car bare while they dined, even breaking a window to steal clothing! San Fransisco is at the top of my "Don't Go There" list!.

Once again, somebody without informed opinions. I live here, you don’t, and I don’t observe the problems you describe.

There are certainly issues to deal with but many places that are much worse. Perhaps you could focus your attention on them.

Lived and worked in SF for years. Today i don't want to even visit the city. It was so clean and beautiful.....today it is becoming a third world dump. To walk down market street will make you sick.


So you haven’t been here, but you still feel qualified to comment.

That says a lot!

Regardless of gender, race, creed or religion we need excellence.

Since this is your statement I have a question. How do we achieve excellence by not making people responsible for their own decisions? I can rob and not go to jail? I guess I have wasted my life in Podunk Ohio


People should held accountable and responsible.
And that was Podunk Iowa. Not the same place!

"Relatively" is a weasel word. Relative to what. The south side of Chicago. What neighborhoods are you "comfortable to wandering the streets at night?" You can't walk Market or Mission without substantial risk.

If you came to San Francisco in 1996 you can't have any idea what The City used to be like.


Twenty five years is enough to form an impression. My wife grew up here. My 94 year old mother-in-law doesn’t express concern, just gets on with her life.

Many of the comments on this thread are from people who have no idea what they are talking about.

Personally I’d be much more concerned in Manhattan, Boston, Las Vegas, Los Angeles or New Orleans. Even Podunk Iowa!

I left California 20+ years ago and only one. I haven't been back since. It used to be the "Golden State" and San Francisco was "The City". San Francisco is now a dangerous garbage pit. I can't describe the "Golden State" without this post being moved to The Attic.


SF is still relatively safe, but like anywhere it is unwise to draw attention to yourself and make yourself a target.

I’ve lived here since 1996, and feel safe wandering the streets, day and night, but staying low key is sensible. My camera bags don’t look like camera bags. It pays not to advertise.

My wife used to work for a jewelry company downtown and regularly had to ship stuff. She just dressed down and wandered up the street with as much as $100,000 of jewelry in her scruffy backpack.

Never a problem.

Street smarts are useful.

Ah yes film with its analogue Silver Halide grains and chemicals for development much more natural and you can even smell it if you process it yourself. Wonderful ambience and realistic results - very satisfying! What?? You scan it and turn it into digital images ???????

Sacrilege how could you do such a thing destroying all that was good in film photography!

Isolating. There’s this virus thing going around. My mother-in-law is almost as old as Her Majesty, don’t want to put her or anyone else at risk.

Take care, stay safe.

If I recall correctly PSP4 was free. Not so from PSP6 onwards. I still use multiple versions of PSP, including 4, it’s basic but fast and easy.

Initially, the v4 software was limited. But, that was years ago. The software has been updated to cover all digital EOS cameras going back to even the EOS D2000/D6000 models that wrote their RAW to files with 'TIF' extensions, even through those files were RAW rather than TIF format. Visit your local Canon.com website and download the latest software, now v4.12.60. You just need a valid EOS s/n to enable the download. Any camera type will work, as long as a valid number format.

WRONG.

DDPv4 works with all EOS RAW, including all cropped DSLR models, interchangeable mirrorless, and even Powershot G#, and Powershot SX## models.
