I think this is the hottest idea out there but, while I was talking to my friend who is a photographer in the Bay Area he had some concerns. His major one was that when cars are on Lombard St only the roofs of the cars are visible, unless you are getting permission to shoot the photo from one of the homes it will not be as impressive as it should be. Maybe this has already been adressed but I couldn't find a discussion of it.

So glad we're going to be able to participate. This is going to be very cool!

This perspective looks good but wrong lighting!
