The dining hall at Alcatraz. San Francisco's been good for my fascination with decaying and abandoned buildings. (I'm especially drawn to places left suddenly, with the expectation of return. Dream phototrip: Chernobyl.)
Looking through my photostream I'm surprised I have so few shots of Hill 88 and none of the Presidio Hospital or Sutro Baths. Must resolve that.
I nailed two moves at Parkour tonight that had been haunting me for weeks -- jumping clear over a long, low block and scaling a 5 1/2' wall without breaking my stride. Both looked so simple when others did them, but I'd just not been able to pull the required body mechanics (or sheer muscle) together. Quite impressed with myself right now. ++.
That clean jump over the low wall (~3') from my last post? Nailed that a few weeks back. Next up, figuring out the cat-pass:
Another favourite from the New York set. Also at The MoMA.
A favourite from the New York set. The Museum of Modern Art.
Finally finished putting the photos from my trip to NYC up on Flickr, including a handful from the Design and the Elastic Mind exhibit at the MoMA.
Ten weeks from now. Just me, a camera, a pair of hiking shoes and the Na Pali coast.
"So I was talking to my friend Clown Laura...she's the serious clown, not the funny clown..."
"My audition for Cirque du Soleil went really well. But then they told me I was too tall for Varekai. How can I be too tall for Varekai?"
"Oh, she dropped out of Cirque because she thought it was too mainstream. Now she's doing burlesque trapeze in the East Village."
