this is buzz and shawn on the roof of the apartment where buzz and i lived, along with a revolving series of third roommates, for a couple years in San Francisco after we moved out of Mission Records. it was a faded pink building which jim, the landlord, eventually painted a dull gray. we lived between 24th St. and Cesar Chavez at the bottom of Bernal Hill. every so often we'd head up to the roof and have a few beers and enjoy the gorgeous sunsets. i remember once when the building was being repainted we climbed out of our windows and hung out on the scaffolding and drank beers over the sidewalk. buzz still lives there and every week or so, i wish i did too.
i shot these polaroids on an old Square Shooter Polaroid camera that my friend Sam gave me after i gave her an even older Polaroid Land camera with the bellows. those are a little tricky since the batteries they take are no longer made, but i knew an old Chinese guy at Mission Camera on Valencia who could convert it to take AAs. awesome guy too. i hope the place is still there; if so, buy your camera stuff from him.
