Man-Cold

I'm on my 2nd day of nursing my Man-cold. Perhaps one day in the future, scientists will be able to prove that colds do indeed bite men with much more venom than when attacking females. I've managed to haul myself up to my computer to give you a quick update on "tings".

It has been more foggy than usual this San Franciscan summer and temperatures are way below the seasonal norm. Even so the beauty of this city is not easily masked so I continue to enjoy this gem of a city. Last Saturday night, I was hired to shoot a banquet in Chinatown. It was quite a lavish event. The dancing after the food was difficult to resist as layer after layer of the finest, freshest and sick beats from somebody's hood fought to destroy the woofers in the speaker cabinets. It was a well matched fight so as the bass got deeper and the beats that got dirtier, the resultant sound was syncopated nirvana for the B-boys and all the G's in the house!

The hostess loved the photos and I got paid!

My stock library submissions are still doing well although I'm a little amused at just how many times one image in particular has sold and continues to sell. In spite of the rising number, I haven't been able to find where it's being used even though I try to search for it using Tin Eye.

Personal training work is keeping me super fit, except for this man-cold, so it's almost like the older I get the fitter I am. Some of my fitness is due to the fact that I walk a lot around the city taking pictures. When you're distracted like this, it's easy to walk up and down countless steep hills without even noticing. I've always wondered what would happen in San Francisco if we got real snowfalls and icy weather... apart from the obvious rise in incidents of man-colds that is!
