Pride in San Fransisco isn’t a lot different than pride in OKC… wait, who am I kidding? It’s the difference between a firecracker and a supernova. It’s the difference between 5000 and 100000 people. There’s a lot going on, plenty of crowds to get lost in, plenty to see and do. Just the people watching is pretty awesome. People of all stripes, out and proud. Whole parts of the city are closed off to traffic, and open to everything else. Which, incidentally, I didn’t see much of. People make a big deal about a couple naked guys, walking around, but here, that’s just another tuesday. Lots of street preformances, though, lots of yelling, food, drinking, dancing on lightposts, things you really don’t see every day. I was happy to see the support for Chelsea Manning. I hope she gets some much deserved freedom, sooner rather than later. <div class=”center”> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/pride_2013/552/0001.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/pride_2013/552/0002.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/pride_2013/552/0003.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/pride_2013/552/0004.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/pride_2013/552/0005.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/pride_2013/552/0006.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/pride_2013/552/0007.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/pride_2013/552/0008.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/pride_2013/552/0009.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/pride_2013/552/0010.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/pride_2013/552/0011.jpg’ /> </div>

There’s something very much of my generation of photographers about doing a composition study at a car accident scene. On the other hand, nobody was hurt, and it’s really a pretty commonplace thing, so maybe it’s appropriate to be a little blasé. <div class=”center”> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/power_lines/553/0001.jpg’ /> </div>

These are just the first four images off the top of the queue. Only a little editing. I remember some of the context, except for the first one. I have no clue why I was walking in Chinatown just past dusk. <div class=”center”> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/the_first_four_off_the_top/554/0001.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/the_first_four_off_the_top/554/0002.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/the_first_four_off_the_top/554/0003.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/the_first_four_off_the_top/554/0004.jpg’ /> </div>

This is “@photomattmills”:http://twitter.com/photomattmills, back on the air. The extened hiatus owes to my lack of a personal computer these past two months. I changed jobs, and the new employer has clauses in the contract about who owns what I produce on company equipment… anyway, I needed my own rig. I’ve completely forgotten where I was in the flow of editing and producing blog posts, so excuse me if I repeat myself. The new gig is super sweet. I’m learning a crap ton, which is great, and my co-workers and bosses are all pretty chill. To hold you over while I’m getting my shit together, and so you’ll know I’m actually alive, here’s a shot from our last camping trip. It’s the last star field I took, and the only one that’s even remotely sharp (although at 100% there’s still a little motion). <div class=”center”> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/back_on_the_air/555/0001.jpg’ /> </div>
