San Francisco Dreaming

Shaun Halper, currently a Ph.D. student in History at the University of California, Berkeley, was featured as San Francisco's Genreman not too long ago. He graduated from Columbia University in New York in 2005 and writes sometimes for the Huffington Post.

Here is his mesmerizing picture and his interview for Genre Magazine that I have faithfully reproduced.

Just one thing, John and I never quite made it to Dolores Park. Ok, I lied - final thing: I think Dan likes smart Jewish men with bright eyes and a tuft of black hair.
