PESOs a woody for Frank, and a couple others from the Folsom Street Fair

2012-09-24 Thread Larry Colen
The Folsom Street Fair is a San Francisco Leather Pride celebration.  On one 
hand it is an incredibly rich opportunity to photograph certain elements of 
society enjoying life with an exuberance which is hard to believe. On the other 
hand, sometimes seeing this exuberance makes you want to scrub your brain with 
steel wool and bleach.  I've got a set of photos from today that would probably 
all be OK in most reasonably liberal workplaces.   I did get one photo of 
someone's woody, that I think Frank might appreciate:

I think that this photo captures the exuberance, without showing anything too 
outrageously risque:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/8018815163/

It was nearly as much fun checking out the camera gear in use at the fair.  Of 
course there was the usual assortment of canikon SLRs. I also saw a K-7 and two 
full frame Pentax SLRs. One was an ME, I didn't catch what the other was.  I 
also saw an 8x10 view camera, a 6x7 rangefinder or two, several MF film 
cameras, and a Nikon F set up to shoot from ground level.  I was amused to note 
this ginger, with a DSLR around her neck, photographing some of the local color 
with her cell phone:

While none of these photos are actually lewd, I advise caution as to who 
might be looking over your shoulder if and when you open the links.

Actually, I prefer bamboo...

;-)

Looks like a cool bike though.  Seriously, I think that metal is best for a 
strong, long lasting frame for heavy urban use.

Cheers,
frank

Nice.  These always remind me of the Wright brothers bike on display
at the Air and Space Museum in DC:

The day I was there, everyone was clustered around the bike and
ignoring the Wright Flyer.  The bike just looks so modern.

cool != practical

For example, an e-type is definitely more cool, and more interesting to look at 
and photograph than a Honda civic.  

Interestingly my most recently purchased bike has a frame made by a company 
named after the neighborhood that photo was taken in:
