Look at the blue of this blue sky at dusk last night on the Embarcadero

No filters used and I didn’t turn up the saturation or anything!

Oh shit, is it really Bike to Work Day tomorrow?

Looks like it’s arrived early this year!  Be sure to be extra cautious during your ride tomorrow since there’ll be a ton of rookie riders making their tentative first commute on our city streets, and try not to get mad when you get repeatedly cut off by clueless first-time cyclists.  After all, the ultimate goal is for everyone to eventually stop being wussies and start biking to work every day, so let’s all try to be as supportive as possible!

And if you play your cards right, you might just encounter a magical moment like this:

Help publish a comic book written by beloved El Rio bartender Mat Heagerty

It’s been a few years in the making, but what started as a web comic is now about to become an actual physical published work of art! Here’s what it’s about:

Just Another Sheep follows a timid teen learning to think for himself in the days of Flower Children, free love, and the Vietnam War. But this is not just a soul search! The teen is on a quest to find out how he has the amazing ability to make people experience anything his body has before– be that food poisoning, intoxication, pleasure, or pain.

That would be awesome.

Mat and the crew have actually already reached their Kickstarter goal (congrats, y’all!), but there’s 66 hours left to pledge an amount and earn some sweet bounty. (I meant to mention this last week, but the weather got nice and I went to the beach and didn’t come back until just now.) Rewards include comics, art, t-shirts, having yourself written into the story and more! Check it all out.

3D City: Accidents In Stereo


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

Film is temperamental. Old cameras can be too. I’ve been shooting on my Nimslo 3D camera long enough to have a decent pile of fuck-ups, but accidents and film aren’t always bad thing. Some of these shots had something wrong happen in developing, others were the result of the film not properly advancing. I hated them when checking them out through the loupe, but found that when I turned them into animations (the Nimslo shots 4 side by side shots at the same time), they took on a life of their own.

More shots after the bump.
