To Ski or Not To Ski

I've planned to go skiing a few times these past two weeks but the weather has been a little hazardous in terms of taking a long drive in pouring rain on my own. I had planned to drive up to Tahoe and ski today but the forecast had been for heavy rain all around San Francisco which would obviously make the roads hazardous. So last night I decided I would stay in San Francisco today and guess what? The weather was beautiful.

Oh well. It wasn't a wasted day. I drove out to Golden Gate Bridge and went for a walk over it with my camera. It turned out to be bracing but lovely and relaxing in the sunshine that wasn't really supposed to be there!

HALFWAY THROUGH MY FIRST WEEK

I've had 2 days now of induction and tomorrow will place me halfway through my first week at the job.

Met my friend Kate this evening to discuss a photoshoot I'm planning for her to model for me.

Need to rest now since my personal trainer will be taking me through my paces at 07:00 in the morning!

The Darkness Just Makes The lights Brighter

I Started my new job today. It was so refreshing to be in a learning environment again and being given lts of stimulus to feed my mind. I really enjoyed all the new personalities and am so excited about being able to channel and shape a lot of the amazing energy and potential I felt throughout the day.

I've completed day one of my 4 day induction/ orientation and look forward to the rest of the week. I feel very positive about this new adventure.

It's been raining here in San Francisco which is actually quite welcome right now. It's a little chilly though! The upside is it shows another side of the city and encourages me to get my camera out and go and record some of the spirit of these winter nights.

It'll Probably Be Seismic

I went to the Gym this morning to put Nelly through her gym session and afterward met Rodney for lunch in the Mission area of the city. Rodney is doing phenomenally well and is working really hard too but enjoying it.

In the afternoon I met up with Jeannie for a photoshoot with her. I was quite pleased with the results and have already started processing the images tonight.

After the shoot we wondered around the Haight for a while and got some coffee before Jeannie needed to go to her next appointment. The weather was quite nice again today although I just heard rain outside while I'm writing this at 2 in the morning. And I think it's my bedtime!!

Today was a good day. I had a personal training session which took me to within sniffing distance of the sulphur bellowing up from hell itself but I'm reasonably recovered now. I met my friend Megan for a quick coffee which ended up lasting 4 hours!

I zipped home showered and changed in time to go and meet my friend Sonia at the Regis for cocktails and then a lucious dinner at Salt!. I should really get to bed now since I have another gym session in the morning.

Nighty night!

Today was my 1st non-working weekday in between jobs. I went down to the gym and did a workout with Nelly before picking up my camera and heading downtown to take some street shots.

The weather was glorious, blue skies and 70º. I ran into Marlon just off Market at Stockton.

Lunch was bigger than planned. I got a burger at Burgermeister. Had an afternoon nap before catching up with some more friends.

I could get used to this!
