Muni Is My Canvas 02.01.12

@cinemaone on Twitter/Instagram created this brilliant portrait of a Muni rider. I think this is the result of Hipstamatic Dream Canvas and AutoPainter2 plus some other wizardry up his sleeves.

Got your own Instagram Muni masterpiece? We wanna see.

San Francisco Engagement Shoots on Muni 02.01.12

Photo: Sarah Dawson Photography

Almost as much as they love trashing it, people love taking pictures of Muni. Exhibit A: our Muni Photos Flickr pool. Exhibit B: the couples who deemed it romantic enough for engagement and wedding photos. Reader Erin pointed us to these photos, starring love and Muni, by Sarah Dawson Photography. Pictured below are Katie and Shadi, and Bryan and Michelle, respectively.

We curse it to hell during commute hours, but any San Francisco photo shoot just isn’t complete without it. In 2009, Jeff and I couldn’t resist, either. We met in San Francisco and get all marshmallowy over neat stuff on public transit, so there you go.

Snuggle up on Muni (with permission from your snugglee, that is), and send us your photos and stories today. Why’s Muni your backdrop for more than getting to and fro?

How familiar is this Muni scene? 01.30.12

Even when your Muni driver isn’t MIA, as they apparently were in @xt1an‘s photo above, it sure does feel that way sometimes, dunnit?

Says he: “hello? does someone want to come move this train? the driver is nowhere to be found”

We hope it got better.

Photo Diary: Muni gets hungry, too 01.29.12

@samuelclay says, “Muni train swallowed this poor lady’s bag.” Better than the train swallowing her, amirite?

Trick or Treat 01.27.12

Dhyana posted this celebration of coconuty chocolate on the Muni Diaries Facebook Page, noting this:

On the 5 this morning: Some guy got up and dumped a bag of bite-size candy into the seat next to me and then left the bus. “Sometimes he has cupcakes,” said the person sitting across from me. Muni is weird.

Maybe this is part of his oeuvre, a la Felix Gonzalez-Torres. It is so contemporary.

Either that or coconut macaroons are next. But really, though, what does this “sometimes” look like when it’s cupcakes, instead?
