So, not to say that the office is boring; it’s infinitely better than sitting alone at home working remotely, but it is a little short on visually interesting human interaction. Also, I work in the office, so I’m not nearly as prone to taking photos there. I’m much more likely to have my camera while we’re going for a coffee in the afternoon, or walking to lunch or whatever. Also, as a rule, if more than three people are in a candid photo, at least one of them will be making a slightly awkward face. Oh well. <div class=”center”> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/not_quite_photos_of_work/575/0001.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/not_quite_photos_of_work/575/0002.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/not_quite_photos_of_work/575/0003.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/not_quite_photos_of_work/575/0004.jpg’ /> </div>

The very next night, we went to see Metric in Oakland, and it was a lot of fun. She went off for a minute about how nobody has any privacy any more, because cell phones. Truth. Also, note to self: Always floor seats. Duh. <div class=”center”> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/metric_was_nice/576/0001.jpg’ /> </div>

I know, I know, it’s been a long time since I’ve blogged. There are ~500 images in my backlog, though, and my computer situation has finally stabilised to the point that I can blog again. These are all from the night we went to see sigur ros, the band with the made up language. All I could think, the whole time, was, “God I wish this were Radiohead, they’d be so much better.” On the plus side, we got to have some good sushi in the city, and Sophie enjoyed the show, so there’s that. at some point in this series of posts, there may be a narrative breakdown, but there will always be some good photos. Don’t worry, I’m just trying to get things online in a way that makes sense to me. <div class=”center”> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/some_street_photos_because_sigur_ros_was_boring/577/0001.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/some_street_photos_because_sigur_ros_was_boring/577/0002.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/some_street_photos_because_sigur_ros_was_boring/577/0003.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/some_street_photos_because_sigur_ros_was_boring/577/0004.jpg’ /> </div>

This place is pretty rad. Hills! Tall buildings! Other things! There, I’ve used up all my exclamation points for the month. <div class=”center”> <img class=”film” src=’https://images.matt.pictures/city_photos/578/0001.jpg’ /> <img class=”film” src=’https://images.matt.pictures/city_photos/578/0002.jpg’ /> <img class=”film” src=’https://images.matt.pictures/city_photos/578/0003.jpg’ /> <img class=”film” src=’https://images.matt.pictures/city_photos/578/0004.jpg’ /> <img class=”film” src=’https://images.matt.pictures/city_photos/578/0005.jpg’ /> <img class=”film” src=’https://images.matt.pictures/city_photos/578/0006.jpg’ /> </div>

Barbecues in Cali don’t tend to revolve around the grill in the way that they do in the midwest. This one was really about playing music (if you could) and trying all of Jacob’s beers. A very nice afternoon, in really good light. As the sun got lower, veiling flare became a real problem, but I don’t have a lens hood. Oh well; I think I did OK, anyway. Thanks to Jacob and JBird for hosting. <div class=”center”> <img class=”film” src=’https://images.matt.pictures/bbq_at_jacob’s_house/579/0001.jpg’ /> <img class=”film” src=’https://images.matt.pictures/bbq_at_jacob’s_house/579/0002.jpg’ /> <img class=”film” src=’https://images.matt.pictures/bbq_at_jacob’s_house/579/0003.jpg’ /> <img class=”film” src=’https://images.matt.pictures/bbq_at_jacob’s_house/579/0004.jpg’ /> <img class=”film” src=’https://images.matt.pictures/bbq_at_jacob’s_house/579/0005.jpg’ /> <img class=”film” src=’https://images.matt.pictures/bbq_at_jacob’s_house/579/0006.jpg’ /> <img class=”film” src=’https://images.matt.pictures/bbq_at_jacob’s_house/579/0007.jpg’ /> <img class=”film” src=’https://images.matt.pictures/bbq_at_jacob’s_house/579/0008.jpg’ /> </div>
