It’s 7 a.m., 54° and headed to 63° today, with some sunshine in the mix. The rain is gone, and this weekend is shaping up to be a pleasant one. Details for the next 10 days are here.
If you’ve been paying close attention to these posts throughout the last week, you might have noticed that we tried something different with the header art. Each day, we’ve featured a different photo from one photographer, Dino Kuznik. While we typically draw from the Mission Flickr pool, I found Dino’s work to be deserving of a longer stay. The 27-year-old moved to the Mission from Slovenia last spring. A graphic designer for a mobile advertising company, Kuznik shoots in his spare time and is particularly drawn to street photography. “I like the relationship between people and the urban area,” he wrote in an email. “You have to have guts, be well trained in composition, and a pinch of luck always helps.” Check out more of Kuznik’s work at DinoKuznik.com.
We’re exactly one week away from Thanksgiving, and while many of us are looking forward to a brief respite from work and school and other obligations, the less fortunate among us in the Bay Area are set to be even less fortunate this year.
