How many times a day do you walk past a San Francisco landmark without giving it another glance? Long-time Muni Diaries photo contributor Jeremy Brooks decided that to train his camera lens on the Transamerica Building for a year and captured some amazing shots in his Transamerica View project, which has 256 photos of the landmark building taken in a year. You’ve seen his great photos on the site in lots of posts including the Shoes on Muni series.
