Drink of the Week: The NASCAR Negroni

Duvel and Campari over ice, twist of orange. (Why Aperol when you can Campari?)

3D City: Dolores Tower


3D City is a year long stereoscopic photography project by Doctor Popular

Along with the typical Wachoski and hunky Jesus spottings, you’re likely to spot these acrobats doing their thing in Dolores Park once or twice a week. I’m not exactly sure which group this was, but I’m thinking it could be AcroYoga. If you know, share some info in the comments. Shot with my Nimlso 3D camera on Kodak T-Max film.

Wachowski’s Sense8 shooting at Pride

I hope everyone’s enjoying Pride Weekend out there in the sun. Don’t forget to drink water. Seriously. We’ve all got to do our part in this awful drought, but drink a lot of water.

The Matrix filmmakers, The Wachowski Siblings, were back in our neighborhood shooting for their upcoming Netflix series yesterday. The series includes a diverse cast from all over the world, including a transgender blogger, which may be the connection to Pride. Though from what we see here it looks like they’re highlighting two cisgender women, so maybe not? I’d hope and assume the Wachowski’s would give a trans role to a trans person. (Correction: Jamie Clayton is trans, thanks, Andy. Did some searching and somehow didn’t find that.) They certainly seem to be willing to work with the communities that in which they’re shooting, Mission Local has an article about production collaborating with CAMP to shoot in Clarion Alley.

Cristiano Valli caught some good shots of them at work during Dykes on Bikes.

Mission smorgasbord

This was my dinner last night. (I was pretty hungry.) Let’s go north to south:

  • Leftover squid ink noodles from Mission Chinese Food
  • Leftover carnitas super burrito w/ chips and guac from El Metate
  • Leftover Special Indian Pizza from Zante

Yum!

I found a packet of cheese in the gutter

I never really understood what Pilates was

…until my friend Trusha invited me to like her Pilates business on Facebook and I saw her cover photo:

Now I get it, sort of.
