Love the way this lighting looks on Phoenix. #BelieveInFilm #Photography #Mamiya

A building in downtown SF with direct sunlight. There are strong reflections on the face from the sun, and a strong gradient across the top edge where the round front of the building is in deep shadow. Shot on a Mamiya 7ii.

Creatures of San Francisco. One sticks out, the other just minding their own business. HP5 Plus and AE-1. #BelieveInFilm #Photography

A tall art-deco post with a pigeon perched on top.

View of a creature sculpture recently added to the Embarcadero near the Ferry Building. There are three eyes and many tentacled legs.

Some fun shots from the SF MoMA rooftop gala. #Photography #BelieveInFilm

Brick building with FLAG MAKERS painted on the side. There is a stairway railing on the left of the frame.

The fluid side of SF MoMA in the evening light.

Interior of SF MoMA with what looks like a double exposure but is actually a reflection of artwork in plate glass with white support beams behind.

Well dressed gentleman at the SF MoMA rooftop gala.

Giants stadium is pretty great. And no it’s not the other name because fuck the billionaire fascist who owns it. #BelieveInFilm #Photography

Picture of the big screen at giants stadium saying “Let’s Go Giants” with the bay in the background.

Shot of the east bay bridge through the reversed G I A of the Giants sign.

Shot of the field during the game. There are some light leaks along the top and bottom since I didn’t know how to operate the camera and the film got jammed inside.

Golden gate gets all the attention, but the east bay bridge is also quite lovely. #Photography #BelieveInFilm

Black and white photo of the San Francisco East Bay bridge between treasure island and SF taken from the bay ferry.

Color photo of the west section. There are wispy clouds in the sky and smooth water.

Another black and white shot from the north side of the treasure island - sf section.

A color shot of the eastern section between Oakland and Treasure Island completed about 10 years ago.

Classic Car on Kodak Gold. #BelieveInFilm #Photography

Hot red hot rod with no top. The sun is gleaming on the bright paint and chrome details.

Shot of the front headlight and fender. The chrome hubcaps look like a mirror.

Bay to Breakers! Also most fun BART train of the year. 😁

Selfie in a unicorn onesie, waiting at the MacArthur BART station. The platform is full of people in costume milling around waiting for the special train to the starting line.

An anti-surveillance beanbag toss game!

A game in the shape of the tower of Dayton with the eye on top. You play by throwing a bean bag through various holes with eyes behind them labeled ring, ChatGPT, palantir, Flock, and Google

Street performance with giant flock surveillance camera! #FlockOut

A crowded street at a protest, someone is holding a sign saying defund surveillance we keep us safe. There is a giant Flock camera on a pole, and people around it wearing bird hats.

A closer shot of the giant flock camera and people in bird hat costumes.

Amazing art in Oakland for May Day.

Meanwhile Berkeley rarely has a day over 80, and certainly not in winter.

There’s a million Bixby Bridge photos, but this one is mine. #BelieveInFilm #Photography

Bixby Bridge on Highway 1 in California. Golden hour sun hits the face of the bridge directly. There are steep cliffs to the right.

Post a pic you took, no context, to bring some zen to the feed.

A fallen cedar tree over a small pond. There is a patch of foliage illuminated by the sun with green leaves and brown dirt which matches the color of the tree. You can see some reflections in the still water.

every random place in California is the most beautiful place you’ve ever seen

Photograph of a red barn in the distance with a vineyard in the foreground. There is a large tree on the left lit by golden hour sunlight, which is also spilling across half the field and Illuminating the barn.

I can only recommend this book.

Normal rush hour, only 2/6 gates were working despite 4/6 being green. Waited in the “wrong” line to discover it didn’t work when I got to the front. Also couldn’t use the exit gates. Honestly I would go back to clipper 1 if we got the old gates back. Someone needs to be held accountable for this.

Long line of people waiting to go through the new fare gates. Only 2/6 are working

I’ll take it.

Screenshot of an animated gif posted by Miriam Webster which quickly rotates through words. My screenshot landed on compassionate.

Photo in front of a federal building. Protesters chained themselves to the doors to prevent ICE from kidnapping people. The SF fire department is in the picture cutting the chains while police look on and the protesters keep singing while they are being arrested.

Sometimes the simplest things bring me joy. #BelieveInFilm #Photography

Large bubbles tinged with pink and a light blue cloudless sky.

Signs of San Francisco. Portra 400 & Canon AE-1. #BelieveInFilm

Sign for the 500 club. It’s a cocktail glass on top of the number 500 oriented vertically. It’s a sunny day with blue sky and patchy clouds.

A sign that says CYCLOPS vertically next to a painting of roses on a wall.

A sign in two parts with reversed colors. The top says mother with green-blue text and an orange background, while the bottom has an orange wolf carrying a cub by the neck with a green-blue background.

I made pocket abstract art.

A screenshot from the Notes app. There is some text at the top with a measurement, then some random letters followed by a bunch of random lines drawn while the phone was in my pocket.

Jason Martens@martens742· Oct 24

I took this same shot! Makes a great phone lock screen.

A palm tree lit from the front with a partially cloudy sky in the background.

A portrait photo looking down 7th avenue in New York packed with people as far as can be seen.

Photo of marchers in Times Square overflowing with people resisting the Trump administration.

Just finished One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This by Omar El Akkad. The clarity of his writing is so necessary in this time. Us white western people need his voice to clearly understand the double standards inherent in our politics and understanding of the world. Highly recommended.
