A guy dressed as Spider-Man asked me if I wanted to race him at the lights. He was on a skate scooter. I was on a road bike. He was disappointed when I said no.
The Syrian style shawarma (not stated on the menu) at Palmyra in the Haight is indeed the closest thing I’ve had to a Damascus style shawarma. There are fries in it :) it’s better than their standard shawarma on the menu
I also love their hummus, kibbeh and tabbouleh. Much better than much more expensive middle eastern spots around
Two hours of take-offs and landings at San Francisco Airport, 8 to 10pm on a Friday night.
It was bitter cold. And this was perhaps the longest time I ever spent taking pictures in one spot, talking to myself and cursing throughout most of the evening.
FYI, this is a merge of 20-25 photos, each about 60 seconds long. Towards the end of the shoot, the fog started rolling in.
Late last year, I ran a small project with a nonprofit in San Francisco. We gave out instant film cameras (color and black and white) to 5 people who were either unhoused or who lived nearby in one of the 'SROs'. We did a tiny, tiny exhibition.
I'm still working to figure out how to make this a more regular thing, and how to show their work, because they have such amazing stories to tell.
Spotted this slap tag on Mission Street today. The artist's name appears to be HAH. Slaps are a form of graffiti that usually involve writing a name on a USPS label (or something similar). The art on this slap reminds me of Matisse's dancing figures. #SanFrancisco#Graffiti#StreetArt#SlapStickers
Anyone in the Bay Area happen to have a connection to The Mercury News and/or SF Chronicle's digital media team? Would love to attempt to connect with them and somehow try and convince them to create their own official #Mastodon account. Not a Mastodon instance. Just an account. It'd be nice if they could use the #fediverse to better serve the local Bay Area community.
The problem with these $200 pp ramen restaurants in SF is (1) I'm glad people are going, I know why restauranteurs in this city feel they need to focus on the top end (2) most of the time, ramen and Japanese spots in SF that charge $200 are not 5x better than things that cost $40 or less in almost every global food city that isn't SF. Or even in San Mateo (which has markedly better Japanese food).
Check out the person I met at the farmer's market last week! (They were dressed like this because they're a CPA, and they help you with your money, hence gold, haha)
