Well, I’ve been shopping around for a place to live and since the economy is the way it is, the housing market has really come down in SF. I found a place I really love and put an offer in that was accepted. Now it’s all about the paperwork, and it looks like I will be signing my life away…

Last Night in Three Photos
Radio interview!
Oh man, I am a bit afraid to listen in but I recently did a radio interview with Siouxcountry Radio about my physique photography that has been posted now online. Here’s the link to the MP3 of the broadcast – time for me to check it out and cringe…
Sherri Carnicle Zivity set posted!
Check out the shots I took of Sherri Carnicle that are now posted on Zivity. Here’s one of the shots in the set:
Dengue Fever @ the Rickshaw Stop
When I first heard Chhom Nimol’s melifluous voice on NPR on a story about Dengue Fever, I was attending Strictly Business 2 in Long Beach, CA right where she was discovered in a nightclub in Little Phnom Penh area which was very close to the hotel where the conference was held. All quite serendipitous and here they were playing in San Francisco at the Rickshaw Stop. Luckily I bought tickets before it sold out and got to check them out and they definitely are recommended if you get a chance to see them.
Wave Organ exploration…
So my friend Megan introduced me to the Wave Organ, which unbelievably I hadn’t checked out before. It’s pretty cool and is part of the Exploratorium although it’s right out on the Bay. This first shot is the view of the city from the inside of the inlet. The two below are looking out into the bay – the top one being of Alcatraz while a shipping freighter passed by and the other is of course the Golden Gate Bridge. Very cool spot to chill and enjoy our amazing city!
Flight of Fancy…
I’ve always been fascinated by flight and air travel so it’s been fun of late that I’ve been able to shoot out on the tarmac at SFO. I was doing some PR photography for Emirates Air and these are some test shots I took to nail down the lighting before the actual flight touched down. Being on the tarmac is pretty neat being so close to these planes as they touched down. It was also raining and hailing this day so it made it a bit of a challenge, but that just makes things more interesting. On this bottom shot you can see some of the hail in the photograph…
Life in the South
Whenever I go home I notice different things; here are my most recent observations…
– Southerners value family and actually hang out with their parents more than others
– Black and white mix a lot more – perhaps that’s because there are more of both, but it’s nice to see that almost everywhere
– but… racial tension is also still pretty present
– everyone drinks! People go to bars more than clubs; of course the lack of nightclubs in rural towns is part of that equation too.
– everyone is a football fan (this pertains more in Alabama where I’m from where the Auburn vs. Alabama rivarly dominates) – it is coolto be able to talk football with pretty much anyone.
– people don’t stay through credits at the movies – everyone pretty much gets up right when the credits start to roll.
