Sinced I got these off the camera yesterday, figured I could post them today. It was a good trip, filled with memories and delicious burritos from The Pantry. We were staying out towards Cerillos, on a friend of a friend’s family vacation home. A really beautiful spot. The storms coming in over the valley at sunset were amazing. I was a little suprised at how big Cerillos has gotten. Boom town, maybe from the movie business that came through, maybe because of the light rail between SF and ABQ. I’m not sure, but it seemed like there were a few too many kitch stores for the long run. It’ll be interesting to see what happens with that little place, next time I visit. Hopefully it won’t take 7 years next time. <div class=”center”> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/last_from_santa_fe/357/new-commute-0001.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/last_from_santa_fe/357/new-commute-0002.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/last_from_santa_fe/357/new-commute-0003.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/last_from_santa_fe/357/new-commute-0004.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/last_from_santa_fe/357/new-commute-0005.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/last_from_santa_fe/357/new-commute-0006.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/last_from_santa_fe/357/new-commute-0007.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/last_from_santa_fe/357/new-commute-0008.jpg’ /> </div>

So, in case you haven’t heard, I started a new job this week, at “Bleacher Report”:http://bleacherreport.com . New job, new commute. Shiny new Macbook Pro. Anyway, I wanted to put up some photos from this morning, and the one at the end from last night, walking to the apple store to get a padded sleeve for the new rig. The sony is mostly dead, I need to see about getting it repaired. That siad, it has emboldened me to get out shooting more with the Nikon. And to post more, because as Sophie keeps telling me, people like pictures. <div class=”center”> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/new_job_new_commute/358/new-commute-0001.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/new_job_new_commute/358/new-commute-0002.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/new_job_new_commute/358/new-commute-0003.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/new_job_new_commute/358/new-commute-0004.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/new_job_new_commute/358/new-commute-0005.jpg’ /> </div>

This was what, like 3, 4 weeks ago now? something like that. A really enjoyable couple days out on the California delta. I was just getting used to the sony at that point. Good camera, fast, does OK in low light. It’s not terribly durable; my frame of reference is a professional DSLR like the D750 I have, though. I think it might just be in that category of camera that everyone else has, that needs to be in a padded case when it’s not in use. I’ve dented a couple corners and filled it with sunscreen, destroying the flippy LCD. I’ve removed it, making the camera a little slimmer, but I wish it’d been a little more durable to begin with. It’s an excellent carry-around camera, and amazing for street shooting. The experimental post I made the other day was all shot with it. It’s small, silent, and produces really good results in decent light. So, even if this one bites it, I may buy another just like it. And a pouch to protect it. <div class=”center”> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/tinsley_island/359/0001.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/tinsley_island/359/0002.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/tinsley_island/359/0003.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/tinsley_island/359/0004.jpg’ /> </div>

Today was great; I got to meet a bunch of cool hardware folks (and “one novelist”:http://robinsloan.com) at “@genmon’s”:http://interconnected.org/home/ hardware-ish coffee. Lots of good ideas flying around, and everybody seemed to like the “watch”:http://ourglass.watch . Some other fellows had an interesting museum-y thing, and another guy had a bunch of little gadgets he’d made based on the electric imp. I’ll update this with a link to Matt’s post when he puts it up, with actual names. I was too busy sort of absorbing all the good ideas to really take it in. But: Look at that photo of Tom. Sunburnt as hell and not a single fuck given. <div class=”center”> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/haight_and_a_sign_in_civic_center/360/0002.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/haight_and_a_sign_in_civic_center/360/0001.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/haight_and_a_sign_in_civic_center/360/0003.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/haight_and_a_sign_in_civic_center/360/0005.jpg’ /> </div>

Ah, market street north of third: the real heart of the city, beating with activity. I love this part of town the most; it’s the most inhospitible to sanity but also the most alive place in the whole city. You get a sense of the scale of the place here, like no other. This is somewhat experimental, as I edited the photos on my phone. I may hate it and delete it later. <div class=”center”> <img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/market_street_mini-essay/361/20142658530_4c69dce909_h.jpg” alt=”See shop and women”> <img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/market_street_mini-essay/361/20304470226_44790c896e_h.jpg” alt=”meter maid car”> <img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/market_street_mini-essay/361/20142699508_061d6eb999_h.jpg” alt=”vendor”> <img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/market_street_mini-essay/361/20336769501_fb5c2b4ea2_h.jpg” alt=”guy staring, hotel”> <img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/market_street_mini-essay/361/20304467336_3478ae8cbd_h.jpg” alt=”Arcade on market”> <img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/market_street_mini-essay/361/20144087759_95e38a6fa7_h.jpg” alt=”wheelchair man and dude on phone”> <img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/market_street_mini-essay/361/20337078201_448675ac63_h.jpg” alt=”girls in the market”> <img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/market_street_mini-essay/361/20322584092_9ec59f380b_h.jpg” alt=”tourists on bench”> <img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/market_street_mini-essay/361/20142701228_8e44c378b8_h.jpg” alt=”Ferry Building, looking towards treasure island”> </div>
