Mission Mission

At least not where I was. It was mostly supposed to. Nobody’s complaining though. Except dehydrated people/things.

Supposed to rain tomorrow, we may even get a thunderstorm, they say.

Does anyone know any site or app that accurately tracks/predicts the weather in San Francisco’s microclimates? Hyperlocal weather blogs? Neighborhood soothsayers? (weather specific)

As I walked around this evening the sky had a really nice glow to it.

Every week, photographer Joshua Cobos shoots a roll of film just for us. He picks the best 13 photos and we post them here, and it’s called “Bad Blood with Joshua Cobos.” Here’s what Joshua has to say about this week’s installment:

I’d been saving a roll of Portra 800 in my fridge for too long. A friend let me know that she was on spring break and she’d never been to the SFMOMA before so I took her there on a quiet Tuesday afternoon. The Dutch artist Rineke Dijkstra has a retrospective up now. She’s been a strong inspiration of mine since I first viewed her work last winter. A contemporary female artist that is constantly pushing psychological barriers, heavy and emotionally compelling photographs shot on film. This series also includes a walk through the Haight with DJ Jackie Sugarlumps, in my opinion the vinyl queen of San Francisco. Fellow photographer Amy Harrity also joined me on a jaunt through some of the Richmond’s storefront aquariums, sneaking around dark and damp hallways snapping photos and doing our best not to get kicked out.

Thanks, Joshua! Ten more shots after the jump:

Lemme know if you want it back.

That’s how you get by on Capp Street.

All of these images are of objects in plain sight, I imagine. Nothing posed, nothing directed. Just long walks with an old U.S. army issued Canonet. There is truth in simplicity, one of the main motivators in my photography. A protest march, a friend’s tattoo, abandoned theaters on the main drag, the modern hotel fireplace in stunning HD. I question society’s directives & morals all the time, are we enlightened by technology or depraved. Through these walks & all the witnessed beauty, I put the big questions aside and just enjoy the moments.

I took Lindsey around to some of my favorite spots in the Mission. She’s beyond words, so I’m not going to take this opportunity to try.

I will say hello to my friends at 2601, Noisebridge, Clothes Contact & the Mission Library. Thank you for not kicking me out, despite my bad manners in sobriety matters.

Thanks, Joshua! Ten more shots after the jump:
