There, that should keep the 4-year olds from messin’ with your ride, and as a bonus you don’t have to carry it into the corner store and look like a total dweeb. Win win.

The Tens is having his first photo show tonight in a very unlikely location: Supervisor Jane Kim’s office at City Hall room 282, from 4:30-6:30pm. If you have followed his tumblr or seen his work posted here, it’s probably safe to say you’re a fan. He’s been delighting the internet with his tasteful renderings of Fox Plaza for years. Brian also happens to be a civic-minded law-guy, so 30% of the proceeds will be going to the AIDS Legal Referral Panel.

Here’s a snippet from Chris Perez‘ statement on this show and The Tens’ work:

[The Tens'] photographs capture the loneliness and despondency that the city can so easily disguise with its majestic views, romantic architecture, and urban redevelopment. Brian not only sees the stark harshness of the city, but also the uneasy isolation that seems to swallow everyone here at some point in their lives. Over the years I’ve certainly been visited by this loneliness. It follows you from corner to corner, street to street, and it is a chill that is hard to shake. It makes you want to retreat from not only the city but also from yourself. In San Francisco, a person can easily vanish into the fog or slip between the cracks in the broken sidewalks of any neighborhood.

So basically it’s a light-hearted show bound to be full of laughs and whimsy and you should go. Besides, ever wonder how many people can fit in a city Supervisor’s office? There’s only one way to find out.

Evening on Albion Street.

The future of journalism is already here.

Or, I guess this could be 4:45pm what with how early it’s getting dark lately

Anyway, nice shot, Carinabot!

P.S. If you like this, Carina has some work in a show this Friday.

Over the past year, Polaroid SF has shot 366 photos of San Francisco taken through the lenses of vintage Polaroid Land cameras, and 50 of them are of the Mission (and at least one of them was inspired by one of our blog posts). This month, they’re bringing their project to the walls of Photobooth on Valencia. The show will be up until the 29th, and there will be an opening reception a week from tomorrow on October 19th, 7-10pm.

Local photographer and party animal Jason Yim captured a whole mess of fun on the playground, and shared it this morning in a series called #yoloindolo. These are just a couple of good ones; do click through and enjoy the rest.

Or is it?
