SF's open studios are always a great opportunity to see the places in whch people work (and often live) and also a chance to meet interesting artistic people. I stopped by a few various ones this afternoon -- some of them the studios of people I already knew, like Hadley Northrop - http//www.hadleynorthrop.com and Sean Vallely - www.bluefortyseven.com/ and some unfamiliar to me, like Rafael Landea -- www.rafael-landea.com
