This wasn’t the last LK2 retro, but it kind of feels like it was. It’s certainly the most memorable. We walked all the way to the Biergarten in Hayes Valley, talked about wat was going on, drank beer and ate pretzels. Somewhere, someone has a timelapse taken from the fence of the whole thing. (This has been another Matt Mills zen story, with no real point.) <div class=”center”> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/epic_retro_time/367/0001.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/epic_retro_time/367/0002.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/epic_retro_time/367/0003.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/epic_retro_time/367/0004.jpg’ /> </div>

These are just more semi-random street pictures. The first two are probabably destined to be part of the ongoing “MacArthur” project, should it ever take more than a vague form. The rest are from the neighborhood around the office. I’m guilty of taking #4 something like 50% of the time I walk on that side of the road, although they’re all somewhat different, due to foreground, lighting, composition, etc. I’ve been thinking a lot about motivation. How do I keep going? So far, it’s been enough to keep pushing the button and putting the photos up here. There’s some external validation, when I post photos of people and they like them, that helps a lot. But really, I don’t know. It’s an open question. <div class=”center”> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/daily_surroundings/368/0001.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/daily_surroundings/368/0002.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/daily_surroundings/368/0003.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/daily_surroundings/368/0004.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/daily_surroundings/368/0006.jpg’ /> </div>

The Mission is still my favorite neighborhood in SF. Noe Valley is where the hipsters have gone, but the mission still has some grit and dirt. Some non-white non-tech people, people not like me. Bars you could get stabbed in, cash only. Several of the world’s best burrito joints. Yeah, what’s not to like?. <div class=”center”> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/photos_from_the_mission/369/0002.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/photos_from_the_mission/369/0003.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/photos_from_the_mission/369/0004.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/photos_from_the_mission/369/0005.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/photos_from_the_mission/369/0006.jpg’ /> </div>

Yes, I’m alive. The blog is not yet dead, even though I see many other bloggers hanging up their keyboards. I could use a different, slicker, easier platform. I could just stick all my photos up on flicker. But then where would I ramble on aimlessly? Anyway, here are the first five photos out of my quick collection. They’re not related, except they were shot in this order, within a couple days of each other. <div class=”center”> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/5_off_the_queue/370/0001.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/5_off_the_queue/370/0002.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/5_off_the_queue/370/0003.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/5_off_the_queue/370/0004.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/5_off_the_queue/370/0005.jpg’ /> </div>

Which isn’t where I remember it, the last time I was here. Seems it’s gone about 30 yards further in. The weather while we were there was grey and cold and rainy, but not enough. It should have snowed the whole time. Stupid Climate Change. <div class=”center”> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/on_the_shore_of_lake_tahoe/371/0001.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/on_the_shore_of_lake_tahoe/371/0002.jpg’ /> </div>
