My last supper might be of bread, too. In the Excelsior.
A timelapse of Planet Earth from Electro-L, a geostationary satellite orbiting 40000km above the Earth. The satellite creates a 121 megapixel image every 30 minutes with four visible and infrared light wavelengths. The infrared light appears orange in these images, and shows vegetation. The images were obtained beginning on May 14th, 2011 and end on May 20th.
No internet service makes it hard to post a daily dose, so here’s one a couple days late. I found the message “Hello Happy Camper” cut into leaves while I went off to pee near my campsite yesterday morning at Big Basin- nature graffiti!
Summer in the suburbs.
Today was insanely sunny in SF, but I felt somewhat cloudy-minded all day… I was dealing with lawsuit interrogatories and having to recall memories surrounding the 24th Street Fire, which happened about 6 months ago. It’s crazy how selective memory is- how we tend to push back and cloud over memories that we don’t want to have, and getting back to them is more difficult than it seems. I found this picture on this awesome “Cloud Appreciation Society” site, and want to post it as a reminder of beauty in cloudiness- how sometimes not everything has to be clear and illuminated. As a photographer, I tend to want to remember everything in vivid detail, even the painful and trying things. But sometimes it’s the clouds that help us move on.

P.S. Looks like Orgiva, Spain is the place to go for UFO clouds…
The Super Moon. Shot from the construction site for the new Bay Bridge on Treasure Island, as Emerson, Megan and I hunted the moonrise.
I bought this cool topographical screen print of all the points in SF over 200 feet from these 2 brothers set up on Valencia last weekend- Duskin and Bochay Drum. They’re part of this awesome Streetopia Show that’s happening between May 18 and June 23 in San Francisco.
