The Mission (3)

Haven’t had much time lately to get out there and shoot some MF (I think I’m missed several iterations of holiday windows). I’m really starting to miss it what with lugging the 4×5 around. However, I’m just starting to scan the color sheets that I’m getting back from the lab and I am enamored. Results [...]

The Mission (2)

The Mission (1)

I started as a photo editor for the school paper one night a week and the increased screen time takes away my motivation for keeping up with the blogosphere, so mostly I am reading the blogs that post once or less per day.

Gatewood / art in vacant storefronts / ah, recession

Charles Gatewood I found the ’70s street photography of Charles Gatewood today and was very gratified to see graphic elements rather than the usual crowds of commuters or dolled up women. You can see more on the Robert Tat (SF) gallery site. I tried to make a permanent link, but if it doesn’t work, search [...]

Inauguration day and the Bush legacy

NextArt in San Francisco organized a live simulcast of inauguration events in front of City Hall and not far down the road, a small group of people had set up a game booth called Throw a Shoe at Bush. This city is not fond of Bush to say the least, and everyone who wished that [...]
