Photographically speaking, it can be very intimidating shooting a beautiful or popular landmark. Millions of feet have trampled the grounds of the Palace of Fine Arts... I wonder how my perspective could be any different from the photographers before me... Or than the 4 other photographers I spotted this morning...
7:30am, That's early on a Sunday for me. It's Grey. It's Chilly. There is a lot of bird poop. As I diligently walk the grounds, I am hoping some inspiration hits. I try to imagine what it was like back in 1915. I try to imagine the artwork that was exhibited almost 100 years ago. This structure is epic. The pieces of art must have been spectacular within.
Crossing paths with another photographer, I scoot by to give him room... and to see what might lie on the inside. If no real inspiration, maybe just some warmth?
As I start to shoot, the sun starts to peek through the clouds. I find my inspiration for the day...

Why is that woman frowning so? (the statue) I suspect her back hurts and her feet are cold.
