Plymouth Valiant Signet
I stumbled upon this pristine 3rd generation Plymouth Valiant on 2nd Street the other day. Contrast it with the 2nd generation Valiant that I posted a few weeks ago. I love the blue rims.

Equine container cranes
Earlier this month, Stephanie and I took the ferry to the Alameda Antiques Faire, where I expected to take photos of all the wacky stuff for sale, but instead found myself more enamored with the container cranes we saw on the way. I should have known—last time I took the ferry to Alameda, I did exactly the same thing.

In my past experiments with color-accenting, I started with a color digital photograph and desaturated the background. Given my recent entree into delayed gratification photography, I now have the opportunity to work in the opposite direction: selectively tinting a black and white photo with color. I realize it’s a cheesy gimmick historically reserved for red lips and roses, but it’s one I’ve found particularly compelling for cars and mailboxes.
VW Bus/Pickup
I don’t know what it is about black and white, but it makes me want to start taking car portraits again. I’m not even that into cars, but there’s something I find irresistible about old cars and cities. They have this uncanny ability to transform an otherwise pedestrian scene into one that looks intentionally composed.
A hybrid commute
Two months ago, not only did we move into our new home, but Simpleform moved into its new office on 2nd Street. As we were living only three blocks from the 16th St. Mission BART station, and I was working only two blocks from the Montgomery St. Station, I became a subway commuter for the first time in my life.
