Touring Claude Lane

Claude Lane - one of the San Francisco locations used by Hitchcock in Vertigo (courtesy of Vertigo...Then And Now). The whole film is an appropriate metaphor for the ambivalence of my study situation and life at the moment - full of enclosed and claustrophobic spaces on one hand, pushed against vertiginous heights, reeling, perhaps falling, as I try to put things into sense (or sentences). Even last night I thought the chapter I was working on seemed straightforward - only to realise this morning that I had wandered into another conceptual laneway: large sections were just alleys of words, that if salvalgable, will be demoted to footnotes...
Anyway, forgive me for not being around lately - I have been very busy!

OK, I've deleted all of the junk messages now, but why did they start to appear over the last couple of weeks?

Thanks for the greate page.
I am making virtual tours of San Francisco. And I was very interested to know about places made their way into the movie and to see the city in 1958 and how it looks now. Quite a difference, isn't is?
