Scroll down for all the details. \n“We began collecting images together over 30 years ago\, roaming a strange and chaotic city in a car. We have never been far from each other\, cameras and sketchbooks in hand\, pointing and asking what or why is that. \nWe collect evidence of the strange. We like erosion\, absurdity\, rocks\, color\, texture\, industry\, fire – complex things that inspire stories in us and speak about time. We collect to study\, reflect\, and refract the changing world. To project forward and backward. \nWe make photographs and paintings to examine. We layer\, disassemble\, mirror\, and emphasize to construct something new. This work is an outgrowth of our process.” \nHeidi McDowell & Jon McNeal\, September 2026 \nCalendar – Bernal Heights and Beyond\nBernal ConnectMike Doherty serves as Chief Experience Officer at Greening Projects\, a nonprofit organization dedicated to transforming underutilized urban spaces into vibrant green areas

SUMMARY:DWIGHT ESCHLIMAN | Excerpts from the One Day Project
DESCRIPTION:DWIGHT ESCHLIMAN | Excerpts from the One Day Project\nMichelle Thomas Fine Art Gallery + Studio invites you to ONE DAY by photographer Dwight Eschliman\, on view now\, with an exhibition reception on Friday\, October 23\, 5–7 pm. \nEschliman’s latest project catalogs time.\nEach day consists of 24 hours. Each hour\, 60 minutes. Each minute\, 60 seconds. For each execution\, the artist photographs one static point in the sky every second for 24 consecutive hours. Each of these 86\,400 photographs then becomes a pixel in a larger composition. \nThe finished pieces are produced in sizes from 18 to 72 inches and include one-hour and 24-hour time spans. The project includes over 100 editioned pieces from four continents. \nEschliman’s depiction of each second of a day at once abstracts and reinterprets it\, offering a fresh perspective on place and the passage of time. \nThe ONE DAY project has appeared in the American Photography AP40 contest and the Communication Arts 2024 Interactive Annual. It will appear in American Photography AP42 later this year. Works from the collection are held in private and institutional collections\, most notably at the MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. \nOn view through November 2\, 2026.\nDwight Eschliman has been working out of his studio in San Francisco’s SOMA neighborhood for the last twenty years. His work is rooted in his fascination with the familiar. He dissects and explores ordinary objects in extraordinary detail\, his passion for close examination earning him a reputation as a master of capturing beauty hidden within the mundane. His work has appeared in The New York Times Magazine\, National Geographic\, WIRED and in campaigns for Absolut\, Apple\, Audi\, and other companies whose names do not begin with the letter “A.” \nCalendar – Bernal Heights and Beyond\nBernal ConnectMike Doherty serves as Chief Experience Officer at Greening Projects\, a nonprofit organization dedicated to transforming underutilized urban spaces into vibrant green areas

SUMMARY:Upper Esmeralda Garden Stairway- Community Workdays
DESCRIPTION:Upper Esmeralda Garden Stairway – Community Workdays\nThe Esmeralda Stairs are three block-long stairs that people can use to climb the west side of Bernal Hill. The bottom flight of stairs starts at Coleridge St.\, one block east of Mission St. The middle set of stairs goes from Prospect Ave. to Winfield St. The top section of stairs ends at Winfield and Esmeralda Streets. The Esmeralda Stairs are utilitarian\, but they’re also fun. Two slides are often called the Winfield Street Slides in the mid-section of the stairs. These slides are 40 feet long\, making for an exhilarating return trip after you reach the summit. \nThe Community Workdays are held on the 3rd Saturday of each month from 10:30 AM to 12:30 PM. \nCalendar – Bernal Heights and Beyond\nBernal ConnectMike Doherty serves as Chief Experience Officer at Greening Projects\, a nonprofit organization dedicated to transforming underutilized urban spaces into vibrant green areas
