Mission Mission

Telstar Logistics hopped aboard a Cessna 182 and took a whole mess of aerial shots around SF.

Every day this taco truck parks here. That’s just what happens. This day was different. There was another car there. This car had less tires than required. (corny sighing sound) Life in the city.

Shotwell at 16th. The shot is crappy because I was running for the 22.

Plug1 of WHAT IM SEEING dot COM Troy just made a declaration that he’s killing off his old alter ego, flickr profile, and photoblog to start a new project, CALIBER SF.  This photo project looks epic and I cannot wait for it to pick up some steam, but I’m bumming that the world will losing all that great content to some domain squatter.  Seems like a waste…

From WHAT IM SEEING dot COM:

Which brings us to September of 2009 whereby I find myself in a conversation withBrad Evans, Stuart Dixon, and Julie Michelle: LET’S START A PHOTO CLUB.

“OK,” I said.

And with that, this will be the last letter I type as Plug1. As I mentiond before: “My name is Troy, and it’s nice to meet you.”

[Interlude]

• Plug1 and WHAT IM SEEING go away on 11/23 via expiration
• manual migration of ~10k images from Plug1 to Troy Holden: 6 months
• daily upload of 43 images/day: 23 in the AM, 23 in the PM
• ~62k images backlogged in processing

CALIBER is the new WHAT IM SEEING.

But she wrote it on your car.

I’m hella digging Dana Dana Dana‘s new photography project on the Mission District.

Here’s some fully stuff from the website:

The Mission Miracle Mile Trilogy is a solo effort in which Dana Smith’s digitally enhanced photography takes center stage. The thirty-two-inch page spreads are printed full-bleed with saturated images of sidewalks, bus transfers, crushed pills, street vendors, tattoos, transients, and schoolchildren. The effect is dramatic, each page turn evoking the atmosphere of the street and the feeling of progressing down it.

I can’t be the only one seeing some kind of religious symbolism here. The question is, what does it mean?

I was watching this TV show about cops in the Mission the other night and it looked so real and everything and then I realized I put my TV on the street months ago (because I couldn’t think of what it did that my computer didn’t) and I had actually been looking through a hole in a chair.

This and other SF oddities found over at Bikes and the City.
