Here are some favorite shots from a lunchtime quickie assignment today. Perbacco asked if I would take some pictures for them to accompany a Reuters NY piece on it being one of the busiest lunch destinations in the world. Sorta true; it’s a real power luncher’s dream, and I wholeheartedly vouch for the food. I wasn’t particularly pleased with my entire album, but what can you do. I’ll be grateful if any of the photos get used.
Not too far into 2010 and there’s already been a slew of birthdays…
Regina, whom I’ve known for almost 20 years
A good friend will occasionally sing “cherry pie” in the slowest, saddest way, steeped in ennui and maudlin tones. It usually happens at night, when he’s lazily surfing the web, laptop propped atop his supine chest. It’s probably not how Warrant ever intended their hair-rock sex anthem to be presented.
Still, it’s pretty adorable.
I think anti-congratulations are in order here, for this is the longest lapse I’ve ever had in updating. Apologies to my readers, all two of them (hi mom, hi sis). I don’t even know where to begin on what’s happened since November.
But I did find this particular monk from the famous Songshan Shaolin Temple in Henan, China (by way of Shaolin Temple USA SF and Fremont) rather charming. He and his band of merry monks performed an astonishing set at MATCHA a couple weeks ago. My obnoxious photo-taking warranted an intimidating glare:
But then…he slowly raised his “gun”
The imperceptible smirk gave way to a hammy, playful, almost flirty smile. Endearing.
It was disarming. A nice, calming moment that sorta helped re-align everything that night.
