    Drive through donation in operation
    Mandy H.

    Arrived at 9am on a Tuesday in a car, was in and out through the drive-through donation in 15 minutes. There was a line of 10 cars wrapping around to 17th Street but it moved quickly. Pre-sort your stuff into bags of clothes, wares, and shoes. Then pull up to the large cardboard bins and put your stuff in yourself. There are workers sorting bins and directing traffic, but the work is hot and hard and they are busy, so the more prepared you are to take care of yourself, the better for everyone. Everyone is wearing a mask and is 6+ feet away outdoors. You could also just park around the corner and walk your donation into the lot to avoid the car line. I didn't get a donation slip because I didn't want to wait or make other people wait for me.

    Self serve with people to answer questions. Bins marked fir sorting items. Easier if you presort. Receipt is online. You fill it out yourself and print. They do t sign it.

    Exit side on Arkansas St. This place is almost right on the corner of Arkansas St and 16th St. The entrance is on Wisconsin St and 16th St.

The idea is that once you can see things from each other's points of view and start to unobjectify each other, it becomes easier (less agitated) to talk about the problem and to figure out a mutually beneficial solution in a collaborative way. Simple concept, but like many things, harder to realize. After observing the conflict resolution techniques in action a few times, it seems more doable each time as I understand the process better. I learned a lot from CB about conflict resolution techniques. Also how to be a better listener. Very useful as conflicts are part of life and handling them well can build relationships. CB also provides training to schools, and to people interested in learning mediation. More information about this on CB's web site. Low-cost mediation by professionals is also available.

Or something like that. I recently attended the new Intersection for the culmination of a storytelling class where each student was showcased on stage for their 10 minutes of fame. Lots of fun for both the students and the audience in this comfortably informal environment. Intersection feels like the red-headed stepchild of "Yerba Buena Center for the Arts" and "The Marsh". Their programming is YBCA-lite, offering simlar artsy fare on a smaller scale and budget. They move into Marsh territory by sprinkling in a few classes and providing a venue that still gives you no reason to dress up for your big night out. I've enjoyed the events I've attended at Intersection but, like YBCA, I infrequently find anything amongst their programming that compels me to attend. Lucky for them, that doesn't seem to matter. They've been around for more than 40 years now, even weathering the recent economic woes which laid to rest many other well-established arts organizations. If there's an offering that appeals, keep 'em around for another 40+, and go check out Intersection.

There were some amazing deals on art by folks like Matt Gonzalez and Andrew Shoultz, and Intersection doesn't attract a huge bidding crowd, so it's the place to be once a year. It turns my friend is a compulsive bidder, as in, I need to send him to Bidders Anonymous. I may not though, just because it was so much fun following someone around who will throw down a few hundos for cool pieces. The live auction part was my fave -- he almost got a piece by Binh Danh for a steal! I've only been to Intersection for the Arts a couple of times, but the place has a distinct chill vibe with absolutely no pretension. They seem to be really devoted to addressing the issues of their neighborhood too. I went to see a play there through their Prison Project, and while not amazing, it was admirable. With a black box theater and a gallery space upstairs, rotating plays and art shows, it's a place I'll return to again, fo shizzle.

Let me tell you, this man is a walking encyclopedia of photography! And all other things too, turns out. Let's just say he knows what he's doing! Detail oriented doesn't even cover it, he will notice things you never would and quietly make it all better without making a big deal out of it. What surprised me most was how natural and comfortable the whole thing felt. It was quick, easy, and I genuinely forgot I was being photographed at some point, which I think is the highest compliment you can pay a photographer. Eddie is also just a great person to talk to. 10/10. Would let Eddie photograph my face again without hesitation.

We exchanged a few texts regarding wardrobe, and Eddie is a fan of bold, solid primary colors. As am I, so this worked out well. I did bring some furs with me, you know, since it was August in San Francisco, but overall the shoot was much less glam squad and much more urban sophisticate. I'm sure you could set expectation if you prefer more "boudoir" look and feel - but overall I feel Eddie's forte is ubiquitiously "San Francisco": Effortlessly urbane. From his impeccable location shots in The Mission, to his unflappable professionalism when encountered with nude men watching our shoot (you knew I was going to bring up the naked leering Peeping Tom - and you should see my facial expressions he captured!), to his ease and desire to capture one's natural spirit and charisma. (Although, I'd be happy with a less wrinkled charisma, but hey - I'm a funny gal and laughing is dangerous for the skin). If you're looking for someone to capture your essence and the spirit of San Francisco/Bay Area, Eddie Hernandez is a premier choice.
