I stumbled upon SF-based photographer Steven Hight on Flickr, and I’m loving how he plays with perspective. In this cable car tracks photograph, shot somewhere in Russian Hill, he’s made the cars look like Matchbox toys. He also uses an antique camera which gives his shots a heavy ’60s/’70s vibe — an unusual way to look at everyday city sights. You can purchase his work as archival prints or mounted photographs at Molte Cose (2044 Polk at Broadway), ranging from 5 to 30 inches square. If local landmarks are your thing, check out his set of photographs of the Alhambra Theater.
