You know when you see something cute, and it makes you wanna do funny things? It happened to @elissaANNtorres on Muni.
The cutest baby is on the 17 and she's chatting up a storm. I just want to play patty cake with her! @munidiaries

Cute dogs do it to me, though I doubt seriously I could get a dog to play patty cake with me.

This Sunday! Gettin’ Around: A Muni-Themed Photo Workshop
Photo: sixsixty
Free on Sunday? Help us pay homage, the analog way, to one of the world’s most photogenic urban landscapes. RSVP as “Going” right on the Facebook invite to secure your spot. Or, you can call, email, or RSVP in person to the Lomography store.
Muni Diaries and Lomography SF are teaming up for a Muni-themed photo workshop. First, we’ll go over beginners’ tips and tricks for analog street and transportation photography. We’ll focus on how to shoot on Muni — one of our fair city’s best muses — and outside of it. Then, we’ll turn you loose with a fine camera — La Sardina or Diana Mini — so you can put those tips into practice ASAP. If you’ve got your own 35mm Lomography camera, you’re more than welcome to bring it and shoot with that!
When:
1 p.m., Sunday, July 22
Start to finish should be roughly three hours.
Workshop starts at the Lomography Gallery Store in Union Square:
309 Sutter Street, San Francisco, CA
(415) 248-0096
Cost:
$10 per person or $7 for students, plus up to an additional $16 for various developing/digitizing/printing options.
But wait, there’s more:
Heads up, sharpest shooters: the best photo shot at the workshop wins a prize.
Hope to see you there!
Muni Metaphor No. 528

Short bus, prison bus, funny farm … I sometimes wonder exactly how many comparisons have been made, how many metaphors for Muni. Here’s @allygreer’s …
Am I on the bus or at the circus? I can't tell. #SFMuni
