COFTP San Francisco Trip with Olympus Visionaries and Super Fans...
Once every year, the Olympus Corporation gathers all of the Visionaries on the American Visionary Team for a Summit. This year we had the opportunity to have a San Francisco trip with the Olympus Visionaries and Olympus Super Fans! What an amazing weekend! Surrounded by some of my favorite people and epic photographers, we stormed San Fran and visited such amazing places as Alcatraz Island, Land's End, Fisherman's Wharf, The Mission District, Graffiti Alley and the Golden Gate Bridge.
The following is a collection of images that I took documenting a bit about the trip and the wonderful people who made it so amazing. A huge thanks to Olympus, my fellow Visionaries, the Mullen team, and all of the Superfans for such an epic time!!!

The beautiful sailboats in the bay around Alcatraz Island
Lots of rusty barbed wire and broken windows along with buildings in ruins made Alcatraz extra woeful even on a beautiful day!
