Not many cities can boast a vibrant section of town that is upscale but approachable, fashionable but not elitist, comfortable without being boring.  San Francisco’s Fillmore District, just around the corner from the Hotel Kabuki, (4 blocks!) is all of these, and, best of all, it’s not striving to be original. It just is! Download the iPhone app from

At PhotoBooth they make authentic, wet collodion process tintypes right in their shop, while you wait. Each Portrait is a completely hand-made, one-of-a-kind art object -- your image, rendered in pure silver, on an aluminum plate. Yes, they use the exact process, formula and technique that originated in the 1850's....4x5 or 8x10…your portrait alone, or with your sweetie is a fun thing to do in SF. They also offer Daguerreotype on stainless steel…very cool. Reservations are suggested since it takes about 30 minutes start-to-finish, but they also will take walk ins. Individual 4x5 Tintype is $60.00, Ferrotype is $85.00. Couples Package is $300 and includes a Tintype of each person and two Tintypes as a couple. Now that is what I call a photographers souvenir!

One block away for lunch is Lucca Ravioli which is a real-deal Italian delicatessen where they should charge you just to enjoy the delicious smells of fresh ravioli, cheeses, sauces, breads and salami -take a ticket and order a sandwich or a cup of soup for lunch as you walk back down vibrant, busy Valencia Street.

The Buena Vista Café in San Francisco is a VERY popular and historic bar at the very end of the Powell & Hyde Cable Car line. Famous for their Irish Coffee, this is a combo locals AND tourist favorite -a rarity for sure! In 1952 the owner challenged an international travel writer, Stanton Delaplane, to recreate a highly-touted "Irish Coffee” served at Shannon Airport in Ireland. He accepted the challenge and the two began experimenting until they reached success. Check out the YouTube link below to see the Irish Coffees being mixed en mass. As many as 2000 Irish Coffees are made each day. This is a fun place to stop in and enjoy a libation and a nice view of the bay, day or night. One of the easiest and most popular ways to reach the Buena Vista is by Cable Car. Any Powell & Hyde Street Cable car going towards Fisherman's Wharf will take you directly to its doorstep on the corner of Hyde and Beach Streets. (Of note, the offices of the AAO are one block away, on Beach Street)

We would pick contestants who would use the buzzers to buzz in when they knew the answers, we kept score, and gave prizes to the winners. Different faculty members acted as the host and relished playing the part of Alex Trebek. I was the "puppet master” behind the scenes, driving the program and selecting the appropriate hyperlinks to navigate through the questions.

Something was still missing however. It was a spectacle, but the majority of the audience was reduced tobystanders when we could only chose five contestants from the group. So we eventually opened it up to the entire audience rather than a handful of contestants. At times it can become a little chaotic this way, but everyone seems engaged and involved.

Although we've used it at Penn State for audiences ranging from physicians, technicians and the general public, the version used at OPS meetings has a higher level of of both difficultyand "cheesiness". Imagers seem to not only recognize rare and unusual eye findings, but also have a warped sense of humor and "get” the tongue-in-cheek nature of the categories and questions. It works best with larger audiences so it's become a staple at the OPS Mid-Year Educational Programs where the entire group is together.

Dr. Reichheimer completed his residency at California Pacific Medical Center and his fellowship in cornea, external disease, and refractive surgery at John Moran Eye Center in Salt Lake City, Utah. He currently works at Mile High Cornea Consultants in Denver, Colorado. Dr. Reichheimer served as the first American surgeon to perform double cut DSAEK surgery, designed to replace the cornea with thinner tissue to allow for better vision. He performs multiple custom LASIK platforms, conductive keratoplasty and corneal inlays. He also performs the following surgeries: Intacs, Intralase Enabled KeratopIasty (IEK), Phototherapeutic keratectomy (PTK) and Near Vision Conductive Keratoplasty (CK). On top of all this, Dr. Reichheimer is an avid and enthusiastic imager for cornea and external disease. We look forward to his talk on "Imaging for Thin Flap DSAEK” at the OPS Mid-Year Program.

My favorite part of the OPS Annual Program is the Scientific Session.  The shorter talks allow speakers to focus on the most salient points.  The variety of topics are always engaging and interesting.  Best of all, I always feel like I have learned a little something about multiple topics by the end of the session.  By the end of the Scientific Session, I am proud to be a part of the Ophthalmic Photographers' Society and I am excited to discuss (and sometimes debate) the new things I have learned with my colleagues.

At the Mid-Year Program in San Francisco, we will be having a very special symposium that will feel a lot like the Scientific Session.  After lunch on Saturday, attendees will be shuttled from the Hotel Kabuki over to the Moscone Convention Center.  The American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery (ASCRS) will be hosting their Annual Program at this location.  There will be enough time for OPS attendees to check out the exhibit hall (FREE with your OPS badge!) to talk to vendors and check out the winning images at the OPS Scientific Exhibit.  At 3pm, the very first OPS/ASCRS Symposium will be taking place in room 131 at the Moscone Center.  For 2 hours, attendees will enjoy short lectures given by a combination of doctors and photographers.  Both OPS members and ASCRS attendees will be able to attend this unique combined symposium.  I hope that everyone will leave this symposium excited to discuss what they've learned with their colleagues.

This image was taken with a Kodak Wratten 25 red filter to darken the afternoon sky.

Back in the day, the OPS organized photo excursions offering CE credit while teaching and sharing basic photographic techniques while on a walking tour of the city. Students were loaned a 35mm camera, given a roll of film and paired with instructors. Film was collected at the end of the day's shoot and processed overnight for a review the next day. In 1984 we took the trolley to the wharf and caught the ferry to Alcatraz to photographThe Rock. In 1987 we chartered a bus that took us from the meeting hotel to the Presidio and Fort Point. I was an instructor on the '87 tour and I recall the sense of camaraderie and collective creativity we all shared that day. I loaded my camera with a bulk-loaded roll of black-and-white film so I could play with contrast filters. I recently dug up the old negatives from that day and scanned them to produce the images shown here. Some days I really miss the darkroom…

I wish I could recall the names of the fellow OPS meeting attendees in these images, but it was 26 years ago! If you recognize any of the photographers pictured here, please comment below.

More importantly, if you are going to San Francisco….. be sure to bring a camera.

Ha! I'll bet you old-timers thought I was going to say, "Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair”! You can do that too if you'd like. San Francisco is a place where you can truly express yourself.

For another opinion on the iconic sites of San Francisco, check out Jay Rostvold's blog post.

 Consider yourself lucky if you are attending the 2013 OPS Mid-Year Program in San Francisco! San Francisco is a jewel of a city. The city is colored with culture, diversity and the arts! Like many cities, San Francisco has much to offer. I may live in North Carolina now, but my roots run deep in the Bay Area! My family and my close friends still live there as does my heart for the city! If you have the opportunity to spend some extra time in San Francisco, there are lots of places I highly recommend you eat at, see or shop at.

Be sure to check out the food scene. San Francisco is one of the best cities in the country for dining. There is every type of restaurant that you could possibly want to enjoy and almost all of them are delicious! With so many great restaurants to choose from, here are just a few places I love and went to on a regular basis:

• Indian Oven at the corner of Fillmore and Haight
• Kan Zaman at the corner of Haight and Ashbury
• Bistro 69 on Maiden Lane
• Mocca on Maiden Lane
• Akiko Restaurant on Bush St .a bit pricey but worth every dollar!
• Osha Thai in the SOMA
• Tuk Tuk Thai…hole in the wall restaurant, but still really good!

Did you know that Cioppino, seafood stew- first originated in San Francisco? If you want to try a hearty cioppino go to Cioppino’s. If you want to try a little bit of everything, I suggest you eat your way through the Ferry Building on the Embarcadero. I would come here on some weekends and work my way through the crowd, all the while munching on sourdough, cheese, gelato, Japanese curry bowl with Japanese crab or shrimp cakes…I LOVE food and I'm getting hungry just thinking about all the different flavors!

There are too many things to do in the City to mention them all here, but if you feel like being touristy, you don’t want to miss out on these places: walking across the monumental and historical Golden Gate Bridge, take the ferry to Alcatraz, walk through North Beach and Chinatown to then walk up to Coit Tower, take the cable car to the curvy Lombard St., and walk along the Embarcadero to Fisherman’s Warf. And don’t forget to take the scenic 49 mile drive and check out the The Palace of Fine Arts. I love going to all these places also I love going to the SFMOMA (San Francisco Museum of Modern Arts), Yerba Buena Gardens (grab a sandwich from North Beach and walk over to YBG and have a picnic and people watch) and to Golden Gate Park. One of my all time favorite places to go to is Fraenkel Gallery, a hidden jewel of the arts. Fraenkel Gallery on Geary St. has exhibited beautiful photographs from Edward Weston to the controversial images of Nan Goldin, a must see!

There are many places to shop at which cater to one’s individual style and taste! Most tourists stay around the Union Square area where the popular upscale boutiques like Prada, Betsy Johnson, Diesel, Burberry, Gucci are located. Personally, I like to go shopping on Fillmore Street, Union Street, Haight-Ashbury and Hayes Valley. These areas are less touristy and less crowded with locally owned stores.

I have so much more to say about restaurants, scenic areas and places to shop, but for now I must stop and save these topics for another blog. In the mean time, check out these place on Google!

Sometimes doing slit lamp photography is like taking pictures of ghosts. We are called upon to make images of vitreous prolapsing into the anterior chamber or cells and flare. These are things that are marginally observable and prove to be as challenging as photographing a snow leopard in Winter.

If you happen to have extra time before or after expanding your ophthalmic imaging knowledge to take in some sites, be sure to check out these great deals that Denice was able to negotiate for OPS members and their guests in San Francisco!

There is something about the RGC that many of you may not know about. Between one to three percent of the RGC are actually special light sensitive versions called photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (pRGC) or intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGC). These special cells were probably first discovered in 1923 and then sort of rediscovered in the 1990's. These very important cells play a major role in our everyday life. Among other things they regulate the circadian rhythm in our bodies. Damage to these cells can lead to severe fatigue and sleep problems.

In the second part of my talk " Electrophysiology and Pupillometry in Ophthalmic Imaging” at this year's mid-year program, I will be discussing a new generation of multi-chromatic pupillometers. Testing for damage to the ipRGC is just one of the tests these new instruments can perform. Old tests like the swinging flashlight test for afferent pupillary defects can now also be quantified for clinical and research purposes. I hope you will join me in San Francisco for a short introduction to this exciting technology.

The Presidio has served as a military reservation from its establishment in 1776 as Spain's northern-most outpost of colonial power in the New World. It was one of the longest-garrisoned posts in the country and the oldest installation in the American West. It played a key role in Spain's exploration and settlement of the borderlands, Mexico's subsequent control of the region from Texas to Alta California, and the United States' involvement not only in frontier expansion, but also in all major conflicts since the Mexican-American War of 1846-48. (From the National Historic Landmark Designation, June 13, 1962)

In 1972, the Presidio was included within the boundaries of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area and became part of the National Park Service in 1994. Imagine such a jewel plopped down into the interior of a major cosmopolitan city of over 3 million people!

Visiting the Presidio may be the cheapest best day you'll ever spend in San Francisco.Those who live and work in San Francisco consider the Presidio Park as our own backyard playground. There are literally hundreds of trails and hikes inside this national treasure. Just 15-20 minutes from the Hotel Kabuki. You can catch the #22 Fillmore line to Lombard Street. Catch the #43 on Lombard to the Lombard entrance, then hike to the various spectacular views and old growth forests (yes, even redwoods) throughout the Park. The famous Lucus Digital Institute (think Star Wars post production!) complex will be on your right. Take some wine, some food and be prepared to stop frequently. A picnic on the Coastal Trail on top off one of the WW1 bunkers was a great way to savor every delicious minute.

One of my favorite hikes is 1.4 miles- from the Arguello Gate connect to Tennessee Hollow and Inspiration Point to the Historic Main Post. A spur trail connects to El Polin Spring, where Spanish Soldiers used to stop and drink on a dusty day. The Presidio was originally founded on this source of fresh water! It's a moderate trail and is multiuse- you will have to look out for cyclists on the lower trail.

After your hike, head to Crissy Field and the Warming Hut for a casual bite or drink or even a lovely afternoon spent sitting in the sun and watching the lively activity on Union Street in the Marina District.

Twenty years ago, the thought of finding one of San Francisco's ultra-chic corridors in Hayes Valley would have been considered absurd. Like New York City's Times Square of old, the area, bordered by the Van Ness performing-arts district and the Western Addition around Laguna Street, was a seedy reminder for opera and symphony patrons of the city's homeless and drug problems. But over the past two decades, Hayes Valley has developed into a haven for haute couture.

For those who have tired of Fisherman's Wharf, Union Square or the Haight Ashbury, Hayes Valley is a nice change to those seeking a more "off the beaten path” experience.

Just a short 10 minutes walk from the Hotel Kabuki, this vibrant community has a hip and edgy vibe to it. Check out the Hayes Street Grill or Flippers, only two of many coffee shops and cafes that line this happening neighborhood. You will find many original shops and galleries here, with an equal number of spots to sit in the sun and watch the wide diversity of life unfold before you. Have a cocktail at Absinthe or a sublime cup of coffee at the Blue Bottle Coffee company. Even the locals head here for one of a kind shopping and eating.

If you have a half day to check out one of the truly unique neighborhoods in San Francisco, I recommend Hayes Valley!

The theater was funded in part by a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. The composer and audio engineer were both professional musicians and each performance is conducted live. Composer Stan Shaff is quoted as saying "I ask listeners to see with their ears and feel with their bodies sounds as images, dreams and memories. As people walk into a work, they become part of its realization. From entrance to exit, Audium is a sound-space continuum.”

As one of those people who have been around for a while, I have seen a number of tests come and go several times. Usually tests get revived when a new application or more commonly when advances in technology improve the test and create results their original inventors never could have imagined. My talk at the Mid-Year Program in San Francisco "

So what do you get when combine construct mathematics, multi-channel digital signal amplifiers, precision calibrated liquid crystal on silicon displays, infrared fundus cameras and lots of raw computing power? You get the exciting world of fundus monitored and pupil monitored visual electrophysiology. These are not the old VEP's and ERG's of the past. Modern technology has made powerful and reproducible multifocal test a reality. A reality that a number of drug trials want to use and no group is better suited to learning and performing these tests than the great members of the OPS.

I hope you will join us at the Mid-Year Program in San Francisco to learn not only a little bit about the basics of the new electrophysiology test but a lot of other great topics as well. Oh and that's just half of my talk, I will be back with more on the other half later.

It sits on the edge of the cliff, this little building that looks more like a temporary box that could be blown off into the Pacific at any moment. Bizarre, old and in need of a paint-job, the "Giant Camera” is without question my favorite spot in San Fran; I go every time I’m in the city. You really have to experience it for yourself to understand why it’s described as ‘magical.’

As photographers, the concept is well known to us, but to be inside -really, part of the phenomenon- is a singular experience. Run your hand over the dish and watch the tiny waves of the pacific –projected live- and the seagulls flying in the eye of the rooftop lens go over your hand -it's so real, why can’t I feel the sensation on my skin? The experience is like no other. Watch more closely and, wow, is that what I think it is?...yes, a minuscule surfer in a black wet suit has just emerged from the ocean and is on his board riding the tiny wave toward the beach…wait, there’s another!...and another!... It's so captivating that even if you are in the room with other people, the oohs and aahs and chatter seem to evaporate and you find yourself alone and lost in the experience….if you do nothing else in the City-by-the-Bay, do this…part with the $3.00 for the entry fee and find yourself immersed in something so simple but so very extraordinary that the memory will last a lifetime.

Double your pleasure by walking up the outside stairs to the Cliff House restaurant and try to grab a seat at the bar overlooking your new-found friend below and the wide expanse of Ocean Beach and the pacific. If its chilly outside, ask the bartender for a Grand Old Irish -a small mug of half hot water, half Baileys with a floater of Grand Marnier and a lemon-rind twist. If its warm out, go for an Anchor Steam -SF’s famous brew.

One of the truly unique experiences available at the meeting is literally next-door.  The 5 block long Japan Center consisting of the connected Kinokuniya, Kintetsu, and Miyako Malls.  Japan Center is a truly unique shopping and dining experience consisting of lots of unique shops and restaurants.  One of my favorites is Isobune Sushi where the sushi is on little boats in colored plates that float by you.  You take what you want and pay by the number and color of the plates you have at the end.  Our meeting hotel even had its own entrance so you don’t even have to go outside.

So its your first time in San Francisco and the big question is: Should I ride the Cable Cars? ...and the answer is Most definitely!, Of course!, Absolutely!, Without question!, Don't miss it!, You've got to!....BUT, another form of transportation you should also enjoy -and I like this mode even more then the cable cars- is the F-line Vintage Street Cars. This is an historic fleet of street cars from the past and from all over the world. These are NOT reproductions! -they are restored orginals from place like Milan, Toronto, Zurich, HIroshima, Melbourne, Blackpool (England), Port (Portugal), Philly, LA, Brooklyn, Boston and yes, even Cleveland. The varied design and detail of these historic street cars is beautiful...its a treat to watch them tooling down Market Street and the Embarcadero, but don't miss a chance to hop on one and take a ride...even if you have no particular destination -just ride for while then hop one in opposite direction to come back. This is one of those "cheap thrills" you'll find all over the City-by-the-Bay. Learn more at the streetcar website and check out the photos on Flickr. And, if you're REALLY into it, they have a free-of-charge museum near the Ferry Plaza, open Tuesday -Sunday 10-6:00.

The city of San Francisco is known for many things… the Golden Gate Bridge, cable cars, Fisherman's Wharf, Nob Hill and Alcatraz. It's also been the subject of many hit songs such as Tony Bennett's ‘I Left My Heart in San Francisco' and Journey's hit ‘Lights'. I'm very pleased to announce that the OPS will be returning to San Francisco for our upcoming Mid-Year Program. The meeting is being held at the Hotel Kabuki in the heart of San Francisco's Japantown. This hotel holds a special place in my mind as the location of one of my most embarrassing moments (more on that later)!

As a member of the OPS Board of Education, I just returned from our annual business meeting in San Francisco. While we were there we did a site visit to the Hotel Kabuki and heard the fantastic agenda for this year's Mid-Year program designed by Denise Barsness, CRA, COMT, ROUB, FOPS and Debra Brown, CRA, COT.

This is truly going to be a one of a kind meeting and no one should miss it! In an upcoming series of short pieces, I'll be highlighting some of our great speakers, events and places to visit in San Francisco. Be sure to look for information about our special joint session with ASCRS, The Japantown Cherry Blossom Festival and some of our great talks. The enrollment for this meeting is limited so please don't miss out on your chance to attend a great event with your fellow OPS members. Oh and that embarrassing moment I mentioned earlier? Well, you'll just have to come to the reception at the program to hear that one!
