And this was the answer.

Monday, April 22nd, 2013The Most Ignored Person in the World Has Got To Be This “Pedestrian Monitor” for the Central Subway Boondoggle
Friday, March 29th, 2013This is the scene down at 4th and Market, where the Big Dig West Coast Central Subway project is, well, digging big these days.
San Francisco’s horrible pedestrians want to get across the northern side of the intersection and it’s this person’s job to stop them from doing so.
It’s not working. Check it out sometime.

In closing, San Francisco pedestrians are the worst in the world just saying.

“IF YOU”RE NOT THE MODEL, BE THE PHOTOGRAPHER” – A Mystery Solved – Photographer in Ad Actually a Model
Wednesday, November 2nd, 2011O.K., so skip down below to see the ad from Target / Converse Shoes that caused a stir a while back. You know, over the whole “IF YOU”RE NOT THE MODEL, BE THE PHOTOGRAPHER” thing.
So I was thinking the photographer gal shown might actually have been a photographer who became a model for the first time because somebody took a photo of her OTJ photographing models.
And then I just saw this link here from Erin Williams talking about “the ad that I shot for Converse,” so I thought, yeah, she is a photographer IRL:
“My mom told me about this blog post that someone saw online in regards to the ad that I shot for Converse for Target. The tagline in the ad is “If you can’t be the model, be the photographer”. I guess not everyone liked the line… What do you think?”
But then one more click to one of the galleries on her website reveals she’s a model model:
- LIFESTYLE
- FITNESS AND SWIM (Some of these are neither fitness nor swim (not actually NSFW but NGFW either), but YMTC)
- BEAUTY
- PARTS
(Because, of course, “the ad that I shot for Converse” can mean different things depending on whether you’re a model or a photographer.)
So, as stated, mystery solved.
Hurray!
Keep up the good work, Erin Williams.
Ah, memories:
“Maybe you can look at this new ad from Target and just lol.
But not Steve Meyer Photography, oh no:
“i just saw this ad on the back of a magazine. i feel so offended i need to take another deep breath before i start ranting. the tag line is “If you’re not the model, be the photographer.”
And Tzulin is not impressed, not at all:
“I’m a girl and I was like…what! Converse, my favorite brand, is saying … If you can’t be a model…then be the photographer, those who can’t do..teach…

Tuesday, January 4th, 2011I mean, really, what’s stopping him? And what’s the difference between holding over one week or 50?
Sure, what I’m trying to do is kind of fucked up, but who’s going to stop me? Like, do you have standing to sue me? Nooooope. Not many people do.
