Wanted: Photos For MSR’s 2013 Calendar


Photo by blarfiejandro

Market Street Railway is a favorite of ours — they help Muni restore and preserve its fleet of historic streetcars, they run a streetcar museum near the Ferry Building, and they publish a calendar each year with great images of those streetcars, among other things.

Recently elected MSR board member Jeremy asked us to pass this along: They’re looking for photos from the Muni-riding and -loving community for their 2013 calendar. Jeremy says:

2013 marks the beginning of Muni’s second century. The Market Street Railway’s annual Museum in Motion calendar is a very important part of our yearly activities. We would like to emphasize both its past and its future with fresh photographs of the vintage streetcars and cable cars in action. We’d like your help putting together our 2013 calendar.

Some specs to keep in mind if you’d like to contribute:

  • Photos should be landscape (horizontally) oriented, in color, and at least 3,000 x 2,000 pixels.
  • The calendar is in a “widescreen” format, so a traditional 35mm framing of a tight shot of a streetcar would be problematic.
  • The format requires cropping top and/or bottom from a standard 4×3 format.
  • Many people don’t post high-resolution versions to Flickr, but any photos submitted for publication should be available as camera original JPEG or RAW files without watermarks.

Head over to Market Street Railways’s blog for more information. And happy shooting!

Domo grew legs and is riding Muni!

Thanks to Instagram, I was able to catch up with the latest Domo sighting and other great pictures in this post so if you’re on Instagram, be sure to @munidiaries and show us what you saw.

And this just in: Our dear friend Secession Art and Design is having a big sale this weekend, which includes New Skool’s Muni Diaries shirts and onesies. So if you want to nab one brick-and-mortar style, make your way to Secession by Sunday.

Enjoy these photos and your weekend!

Trick or Treat

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?
