Amidst all the classiness this hood ornament stood out. I wish I could've seen this guy in action. http://monicaokubo.com/blog/2010/04/19/iphotography-16-2010/ Meat Gorilla Barbeque adventure! I had no idea what we were getting ourselves into. Gotta trust a pile of meat that comes out of a boxcar. http://monicaokubo.com/blog/2010/04/12/iphotography-15-2010/ ARTFART Along my Monday morning commute down the southwestern stairwell of the Stockton Tunnel. And as Artfart lived, Artfart died. He was gone; painted over by Tuesday morning. http://monicaokubo.com/blog/2010/03/23/iphotography-12-2010/ Elephant Teapot Browsing the clearance housewares at Macys. I'm not sure what's worse--the monkey on the elephant's back encouraging his tea addiction or the awkward design of placing the spout right beneath the handle. http://monicaokubo.com/blog/2010/03/16/iphotography-11-2010/ Bum Life Driving the mean streets of the outer Richmond. Happened upon this exhibitionist who has forsaken walls and decided to make this street corner his apartment. http://monicaokubo.com/blog/2010/03/02/iphotography-9-2010/ Chrysanthemums In heaven at the Conservatory of Flowers. For the Lunar New Year mums and kumquats galore. http://monicaokubo.com/blog/2010/02/22/iphotography-8-2010/ Valentine's Goatse At the family-friendly Noe Valley Starbucks. Their graphic design team really wants to extend a warm gesture to all. Happy Valentine's Day, guys! http://monicaokubo.com/blog/2010/02/15/iphotography-7-2010/ Brass Band Waiting outside the Roxie. Adult band geeks marching through the streets like it's New Orleans. Or something. http://monicaokubo.com/blog/2010/02/08/iphotography-6-2010/ Walk Thru Wendy's Post-dinner fast food run. Taken a little too literally by the man in front of us at the drive thru. http://monicaokubo.com/blog/2010/02/01/iphotography-5-2010/ Double Scoop Ice cream overdose at Humphry Slocombe. A place where the ice cream flavors are as charmingly curious as the wall decor. http://monicaokubo.com/blog/2010/01/18/iphotography-3-2010/
