Scenes from Chinatown

Bay Bridge (revised)

The Bay Bridge

Driving and photographing continues to be one of my favorite pastimes, especially westbound on the Bay Bridge heading into the city.

Street Stencil in SF's Pan Handle

This caught my attention while walking home from an Obama Texas Phone Party with Marina.

Recent Happenings

All recent shots with with no flash at ISO 400 off of the SD-1000.
(Check out the Quilmes beer ad circa the 1940's up in some random bar new bar next to that tattoo shop on Divisadero near Fell... what's that place called? And there's the King of the Dip Shits Dave Fortner busting out with top score at the Presidio Bowl last friday night with a whopping score of 126 - Good Job Fortner. Meanwhile, Will Harper sustained a terrible back strain and was forced out early in the match. Peter Kruse made a strong showing for 2nd with a 124 and yours truly with the busted arm pretty much healed at a meek 121)

The Laugh-In at the Baker Beach Bonfire

Also known as National Ninja Day, the First Annual San Francisco Laughin AND GR's big 40th Birthday which they let him out of the hospital early just to make his own bash at Baker Beach.... ahhhh shucks! Thanks again to all y'all.

Newness Around the Bay Bridge - SF

Whoa... Back in the First World

Here at the top of humanity, life in San Francisco, the upper crust of all of human kind - the super first world - the best city in the US other than New York, which is something other than a city entirely.

Thanks to those few faithful readers out there who have been crying out for more digital scribbles on this here blog (via email) and with way too much going on in such a short amount of time I had to stop and get something up so I'll go list style as my creative Latin writing mojo is on the wane here in the only America that most North Americans know, the America of the US of A!

• Went to traffic court to replace my lost/stolen drivers license and the judge waived the 'failure to appear' charges against my outstanding seat belt ticket. Thanks Bro!
• Now I can't find my passport... after all of this travelling. I came here with no ID and was carrying my passport in my back pocket, just like the Lonely Planet passport campaign recommended and it must have slipped out somewhere and is... G O N E.
• However, I received a notarized copy of my birth certificate so that I can now apply for a British passport when back in Los Angeles here in the next day or two. Hello London and the European Community!
• After deciding that I'm going to dedicate every waking moment here on out to photography and chasing the light, I got pulled into a J O B interview here in the Bay Area this. "So... what have you got to loose?" asked the CEO this afternoon. "Basically six months to find out if its going to pay off. Another start up... hmmm.
• Everything here is like, really expensive.
• I am super lucky to have some of the coolest people as my closest friends - thanks.
• I practised Tai Chi for the first time in my life (thanks Gary)... actually, that's the first martial art I've ever tried other than getting kicked in the thigh by the Fletch Monster
• No injuries yet to speak of... (fingers crossed). And if you knew some of my friends, you'd be surprised... like the Fletch Monster, or Cal Santos when on getting it on with the Hornitos
• Religion continues to be at the forefront of my brain after finishing Sam Harris' book 'End of Faith' and as I come back to the land of the free and the Christians and silly presidential politics and 'will Hillary win' and feel compelled to make a documentary about faith...
• Speaking of film making and faith, check out these super silly short Los Toros Films staring yours truly.
• Umm...
• Oh yeah...
• I've eaten way too many chocolate chip cookies, watched too much TV, spent way too much dinero, drank too much tequila but am happy and thankful for now.
• Oh yeah, check this out - the new Cannonball Run!

El Farolito, San Francisco's Mission District

Some of the best Mexican food in the world is made in California... NOT Mexico and CERTAINLY not Argentina. Que viva carne asada burritos!
