Couple of new galleries this time before I dive headfirst into a crazy October. For me, the end of summer is marked by the very “only in San Francisco” Folsom Street Fair. I’ve split it into a bunch of categories, since people seem to like that. Parental Guidance; it is a bit out there, so don’t click the link if you’re offended by, um, displays of non mainstream sexuality.

Had a good response to my Burning Man pics again; thank you everyone who wrote flattering emails. I’ve had about 100,000 visitors from more than 100 countries look at about 2 million pages. Recently my pictures have appeared in Solano Magazine, the Burning Man 2005 Calendar, Park City Flipside and a few other places.

I’m not sure if I’ll be showing work at the Burning Man decompression, but I’ll be there taking pictures.

Oh, and I nearly forgot - I took pictures at the first Valencia Street Fair a couple of weeks back.

Another year, another Burning Man gallery. Even though I couldn’t think of any grand new series or theme, I’m pretty happy with what I came up with. It goes without saying that I’m deeply grateful to all my subjects. Thank you all. Some numbers; eight days in the desert, 35,000 close friends, 100 pounds of dry ice protecting 145 rolls of film (99 exposed), one prime lens, 37 pre-moistened lens cloths, twelve gallons of water, three water truck encounters, 23 luke warm to hot beers, two coffees, six days of scanning, 830 pictures posted in 28 categories. Knowing my images are on a durable and tangible medium: priceless.
