Snapfishing at the Slanted Door

I've got so many pics and stories from last weeks visit to the Snapfish headquarters in San Francisco.  So I'm going to try to upload a bunch here, before I get lost back in my world again.  These pics were taken at the Slanted Door, one of several over the top fab San Francisco restaurants their amazing marketing shared with us.

Ok, to explain a few of these pics;  I think the best explanation I can give is that just about everything about this restaurant is over the top super cool.  Great views.  Great vibe.  Awesome attentive wait staff.  Even the wood tables were super cool slabs of some type of west coast, hopefully sustainable (I'm guessing it is) light hardwood.

Even the little toilet room had beautiful slab shelves.

Ok, chalk this one up to Alabama boy hasn't been out much lately, but that was my first experience in a unisex bathroom.  You know I had to get some snaps whlie I was in there!!

These guys turned one of my favoriate food types - Vietnamese - on it's head and jazzed it up a bit.  Whatever they are doing it's working.  LOOOOVED this place!  Great fun with the Snapfish team at the Slanted Door last week.

Robin Wade
Robin Wade Furniture is a celebration of nature—a melding of a forward thinking commitment to the environment and a quiet, harmonious design aesthetic. From his "slow studio" in North Alabama, award-winning wood artist Robin Wade designs and crafts one-of-a-kind handmade furniture. Years before a piece is ready to enter a client's home or a gallery, the process begins—naturally—with the tree. Sustainably harvested, each specimen of hardwood is flitch sawn into natural-edge wood slabs, debarked by hand with a draw knife, and stacked to dry, usually for years, before the final cure in the kiln. From here, Wade and his team use both hand and power tools to bring Wade's vision to life, and then finish each piece with a hand-rubbed oil blend. Each organic furniture creation by Robin Wade Furniture balances the raw, natural beauty of environmentally, locally sourced hardwoods with minimally invasive, clean lines—a juxtaposition Wade calls both rustic and modern. “I haven’t yet found a better artist than nature,” he says.
