it does "feel"...... Catherine Penfold-Waxman: I'm thinking for our over 50 gang (even though at least two of us are under 50) we should take a lesson from these "real" gangstas and develop a language that only we understand. Here......

Moebius Rex: It's actually really really hard to find trucks in SF that are as colorful as these. I like the FRED one quite a bit, but that last truck really blew me away.... Moebius Rex: Was in BKLYN this weekend for a wedding and was the houseguest of two very kind and gracious folks in Prospect Heights, which is apparently PET BIRD's home territory. And I have to say that...... TCBS: Yes, Mobius Rex, I have reposted it here from our website at tcbs.org.uk. I love this site and wanted to share my discovery with a new community. If html were allowed, I would have posted...... Moebius Rex: dunno if this is a biiig deal, but it looks like the photos for this post were grabbed from a page of the Brookwood Cemetery Society website ([[http://www.tbcs.org.uk/railway.htm]]), while the text was swiped either from...... Moebius Rex: Sasha: I'm pretty sure it's at the intersection of 14th Street and South Van Ness Avenue. The fence is actually a gate into the repair yard of an auto body shop or similar company.

Looks more like something you'd see in someplace like Louisiana....
Love the...... BZZZP: this one dreams it was nessie:
[[img:3239]]
i think i recall reading somewhere that the idea is to underexpose shooting things like swans and polar bears, not to let the highlight detail get blown out... no help...... moerex: A perfect distillation of the secret language of urban driving. Reminds me of the year I spent living in Manilla as a kid, where my father learned what he later came to call (once we...... MoeRex: This sort of thing is all over SF, though I don't know exactly which gangs are involved. I generally don't photograph it because it's not aesthetically interesting to me.
