ian's housewarming

This was about 3 weeks ago? Maybe 4? Anyway, Ian and Stephanie moved recently, close enough that we sometimes run into each other walkiing home from Bart. The housewarming was a lot of people I didn't know, so I did what I usually do: get drunk and take a bunch of pictures. It was a lot of fun. Note that I didn't do a ton of processing on these; just applied a contrast curve and convert to B/W.

this guy

Man, this guy. Pennypacker. Yes, his real last name. This was on his last day at work, before leaving for some start up.

another commute

It appears as though the cranes are spreading to the East Bay now. It's only a matter of time till we all have to decamp for portland; there'll only be room for cranes left. I do hope that by continuing this daily photography, a subject will emerge. There are a lot of things that I end up photographing over and over and over; the light changes, the fog rolls in, and I'm still shooting. That said, all this could be all terribly banal bullshit. When I'm at my most self doubting, that's all I can see. I'm not sure if the repitition or the persistence will work, either. We'll see, won't we? I don't have it in me to quit.

ferry day, some weeks ago

Trying to get back to normal blogging. Been sick, off and on, for the last few weeks. I went to the hospital last night, they gave me fluids, said it was something viral, nothing they could really do, and sent me home. Anyway, I've got a ton of pictures that I need to get out there.
