In Santa Fe again. A lot of memories here, and a lot of things that have changed since I was here last, some seven or eight years ago. It’s still an amazing place. I keep getting these flashes of memory as we drive by places; the car dealership one of my friends got arrested in front of, supposedly because he was hitting all the cars as he walked by, going home from the bar. Burrito Spot and all those times after last call. Breakfast at the Pantry. Wandering past roads I used to live down. I dont know if this is supposed to make me feel old or what, but I do. Drink one for the things that are gone, and enjoy what’s here, that’s all I can do. Yes, these are photos from last night. No, this does not mean I’m abandoning five months of photos. I’m on the road, and the majority of those photos are at home. Felt like blogging these. <div class=”center”> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/santa_fe_again/365/0001.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/santa_fe_again/365/0007.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/santa_fe_again/365/0002.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/santa_fe_again/365/0003.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/santa_fe_again/365/0004.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/santa_fe_again/365/0005.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/santa_fe_again/365/0006.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/santa_fe_again/365/0008.jpg’ /> </div>

I looked at the date on these, and realized I’m 5 months behind posting photos. It occurs to me at this point that maybe I need an easier way post them? Anyway, yeah. Some Friday night happy hour that stretched late, spanned a couple parties, bars, and an apartment. Mostly notable for the walking and the drinking. <div class=”center”> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/happy_hour_on_into_friday_night/366/0001.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/happy_hour_on_into_friday_night/366/0002.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/happy_hour_on_into_friday_night/366/0003.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/happy_hour_on_into_friday_night/366/0004.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/happy_hour_on_into_friday_night/366/0005.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/happy_hour_on_into_friday_night/366/0006.jpg’ /> </div>

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>
