I took a little peak up the street and saw some people kibitzing on the corner. I took a teeny tiny picture to catch them in the act. Then I posted it here to rat them out. Too bad they're too far away to recognize. I guess you could zoom in if you're really interested.

i'll have more from the shoot with page coming soon,
but i just got some film developed and this one makes me smile.
The Bay to Breakers is a 12K annual street race that starts at the base of the Bay Bridge and ends at Ocean Beach. Some people run it seriously, but for most it's a Sunday morning carnival style street party. This year the organizers tried to clamp down on floats and naked runners. There were many fewer floats, but it seemed like some runners stripped off just to defy restriction. This is San Francisco, after all, and it was very, very
hot!
One of the many cars that got seriously megapixeled while out shooting with @troy and @brandon_doran.

Plaque:
"First displayed at the Burning Man Festival in Nevada in 2007, Ecstasy is one of the eight monumental metal figures of the artists' masterpiece, Crude Awakening. In Crude Awakening, these eight figures surrounded a 99-foot tall wooden oil derrick in gestures of prostration, worship and exaltation. The figures represented the "faithful"; the religious peoples of the world in their various postures of worship, all joining together in homage of the ominous symbol of the oil derrick. The installation culminated in a massive firework and fire display, and in the burning of the oil derrick. It was the biggest and most memorable burn to date at the Burning Man event.
Alone, Ecstasy embarks on a hopeful journey. Instead of throwing her head back in reverie to the oil derrick, she gazes wistfully into the open sky as she steps forward into the future. Her name expresses a sudden change of attitude and belief in hope; a moment of being overcome by passionate optimism in a future beyond our culture's dependency on fossil fuel."

Just recently found out that "Please Dress Up" is a clothing line. They started in SF and are now in Paris. They love graffiti, so I'm sure that this is related.

What I like about shooting in the city is that I always seem to capture a scene within a scene. My target was the beer delivery truck. Later, while looking at the photo I noticed that I'd caught two people, unaware of each other, going about their business.
My attention was initially drawn to the delivery guy who is mindfully doing his job. And then there's the woman running toward the bank like her hair is on fire -- probably frantic to get some money deposited before recent expenditures overdraw her checking account.
Strangers passing in the night. It wouldn't take much tweaking to create a storyline that could become one of the great chick flicks of all time -- steady beer truck delivery guy meets artistic fly-by-the-seat-of-her-pants city girl -- think Ben Stiller and Jennifer Aniston. Or maybe thats already been done. Meanwhile, I have a hankering for a beer.
