Seriously, view the details
Some of you remember our shoot with Tina from August.
This was an outtake that wasn't delivered, however now, looking back on it, wasn't all that bad.
Anyway, I'm posting this because I'm just getting over my first cold/cough of the year. Lame.
In other news, I'm still in the hunt for Photog of the Year. It finally ends this weekend (thank freaking goodness!). Your votes have been extremely kind, really. Like really, thanks.
strobist info: SB-900 @ 1/16 @ 17mm w/ 1/2 CTO into 43'' silver reflective umbrella - 5' above Tina (high left) (yeah, text info is lame)

164/365. What's the hurry? ~ Imogen Heap (Have you got it in you?)
— worth viewing large
Tonight I made some killer homemade margaritas. Immediately after finishing I headed downtown to one of my favorite BART stops & popular San Francisco destination — Powell & Market. I figured it would make an interesting challenge... having no primary goal but to just "go there"
Anyhow, this quote is from a song by Imogen Heap who was apparently playing live in the Twoffice during my interview, and I never got to meet her. My Wife has always been a huge fan.
Lastly, I had an enthusiastic tourist couple watch my camera gear as it all triggered off in harmony. I completely forgot to give them my information (as they were originally interested in). Oh well.
Ok, you've read enough...

115/365. She is touring the facility, and picking up slack ~ Cake (Short skirt, long jacket)
I'm a day late in posting this... after a day of wine tasting and dealing with trolls on the internet. Apparently I've wronged a few people that never managed to get their panties untangled. The best comments come from the Anonymous Cowards who will most likely never become anything in life.
Nevertheless, off to Twitter I go. I'm looking forward to meeting my new coworkers.
This shot of Erin was taken near Market & Powell, in her wedding dress (first time she's worn it since). Fun.

This was up the center of the Plaza at Powell in San Francisco (a mall). Heading up the escalators you can tilt your head over and almost see the top — but not quite. I adjusted some settings on my camera, threw it on manual focus, then stuck my arm out and took a blind chance at a photo. Turned out pretty fun :)
