Walk to Rico’s

by Don Livoni

burrito at Rico’s

Shot December 5, 2004 with an inexpensive Kodak DX3500 camera while on a walk from San Francisco’s Nob Hill, through Chinatown and North Beach, in search of a burrito and perhaps a churro for desert. The technique is: walk 50 feet, shoot a single still of what’s in front of you, count to 20 while continuing the walk, stop, shoot another still, walk and consider the concept of lunch, stop, shoot one more still, start walking again and singing (to yourself) the opening chorus of your favorite song, stop, shoot another and continue until your run out of shots or you reach your destination. In this case the 15 minute walk is shown in 41 photos. The time compression and colorizing are done in after effects. The music and ambient sounds are by Bill Pearson. The carnitas burrito is by Rico.
