Sadly my wife doesn't enjoy sourdough bread, but I love it to death. I'm drooling just looking at that photo
It's a labor of love. Buying it from the bakery is convenient enough.
I got the Finland and SF cultures with instructions from
http://www.sourdo.com
I captured wild culture using a method like the one described at

PM you addy and I'll send you some starter and instructions to get it going.

It is very hard to get that really tangy Fisherman's Wharf style bread without the total control they have over every step of the process. My bread is always milder. I think they cheat and add extra flavor.
