I don’t know why I never hiked in Oklahoma, but I’ve been doing a lot of it here. Maybe because the city is more dense here, or maybe it’s the nicer weather. In any case, this was a nice little day trip we took down to the central peninsula. I took the film camera and the digi, and I think they both have their place. I need to get a wide angle for my x-pro, though. <div class=”center”> <img class=”film” src=’https://images.matt.pictures/hiking_in_the_central_peninsula/580/0001.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/hiking_in_the_central_peninsula/580/0002.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/hiking_in_the_central_peninsula/580/0003.jpg’ /> <img class=”film” src=’https://images.matt.pictures/hiking_in_the_central_peninsula/580/0004.jpg’ /> <img class=”film” src=’https://images.matt.pictures/hiking_in_the_central_peninsula/580/0005.jpg’ /> <img class=”film” src=’https://images.matt.pictures/hiking_in_the_central_peninsula/580/0006.jpg’ /> <img class=”film” src=’https://images.matt.pictures/hiking_in_the_central_peninsula/580/0007.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/hiking_in_the_central_peninsula/580/0008.jpg’ /> </div>

So my walk to work from the Bart is mostly down 3rd st, which is always interesting. Good light, good sidewalks, always changing. I’m not sure why I bother doing the whole street thing. There’s a horde of amatures brute forcing the entire street photo-space (the set of possible photos you can take on the street). But the heart wants. Le cœur a ses raisons que la raison ne connaît point, yeah? (Pascal, natch). <div class=”center”> <img class=”film” src=’https://images.matt.pictures/3rd_st,_sf/581/0001.jpg’ /> <img class=”film” src=’https://images.matt.pictures/3rd_st,_sf/581/0002.jpg’ /> <img class=”film” src=’https://images.matt.pictures/3rd_st,_sf/581/0003.jpg’ /> <img class=”film” src=’https://images.matt.pictures/3rd_st,_sf/581/0004.jpg’ /> </div>

More film work, this time Kelsey’s birthday picnic. Lake Merritt > Dolores Park. Also, paper lanterns are magical. They’re sort of difficult to light, but once they go, they float off into the distance, and disappear. Editing these photos was really difficult. I got way more attached to these than I usually would; maybe because I had to look at them longer (getting the distortion corrections as close as possible, curve corrections, dust spotting, etc). Also, unrelated: I’m in Dublin! It’s decent here. The smells and sights and sounds of another country. <div class=”center”> <img class=”film” src=’https://images.matt.pictures/birthday_picnic_by_the_lake/582/0001.jpg’ /> <img class=”film” src=’https://images.matt.pictures/birthday_picnic_by_the_lake/582/0002.jpg’ /> <img class=”film” src=’https://images.matt.pictures/birthday_picnic_by_the_lake/582/0003.jpg’ /> <img class=”film” src=’https://images.matt.pictures/birthday_picnic_by_the_lake/582/0004.jpg’ /> <img class=”film” src=’https://images.matt.pictures/birthday_picnic_by_the_lake/582/0005.jpg’ /> <img class=”film” src=’https://images.matt.pictures/birthday_picnic_by_the_lake/582/0006.jpg’ /> <img class=”film” src=’https://images.matt.pictures/birthday_picnic_by_the_lake/582/0007.jpg’ /> <img class=”film” src=’https://images.matt.pictures/birthday_picnic_by_the_lake/582/0008.jpg’ /> </div>

I’ve been shooting film lately, more since we arrived, and I’m getting some results I really dig. These photos are from the A’s home opener; my boss, Jamie, invited us out to tailgate. There are a couple technical issues. They’re a little distorted from the lens and because the film wasn’t 100% flat. But I’m really happy with these. <div class=”center”> <img class=”film” src=’https://images.matt.pictures/a’s_home_opener/583/0001.jpg’ /> <img class=”film” src=’https://images.matt.pictures/a’s_home_opener/583/0002.jpg’ /> <img class=”film” src=’https://images.matt.pictures/a’s_home_opener/583/0003.jpg’ /> <img class=”film” src=’https://images.matt.pictures/a’s_home_opener/583/0004.jpg’ /> <img class=”film” src=’https://images.matt.pictures/a’s_home_opener/583/0005.jpg’ /> <img class=”film” src=’https://images.matt.pictures/a’s_home_opener/583/0006.jpg’ /> </div>

I got back from that trip, woke up the next morning, and picked up a U-Box, which is really a glorified wooden crate. Sophia and I spent the day jigsawing all of our personal possessions that wouldn’t fit in the car into the box, and then taking it to the uhaul location. We spent the night at my folks’ place, and then hit the road in the morning. Shoutout to “Katie”:http://katality.com/ for being there at the buttcrack of dawn to see us off with cupcakes. Then it was, as my dad said, miles and miles of nothing but miles an miles. There was a “20 mile fog bank”:http://photounrelated.com/2013/05/11/getting-to-sf.html in western Oklahoma that broke up before Texas, and then smooth sailing all the way across to Flagstaff that first day. It’s a lot easier to travel when you have a good companion. The hotel I remembered as being “quaint and charming”:http://notuntitled.com/2012/08/04/road-problems.html from my last encounter was sort of run down and the bed was awful, but it was a bed. Woke up in the morning, had a last dose of green chili and eggs before leaving the southwest, and on to Cali. All through the central valley, the almond trees were in bloom. Finally, we made it to our SF accomos, ordered pizza, and passed out. <div class=”center”> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/the_move/584/0001.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/the_move/584/0002.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/the_move/584/0003.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/the_move/584/0004.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/the_move/584/0005.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/the_move/584/0006.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/the_move/584/0007.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/the_move/584/0008.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/the_move/584/0009.jpg’ /> </div>
