I was recently introduced to an unimpressive looking cheese steak place which has since consumed my life. These humble looking cheesy creations of bliss have come from the angels themselves to bestow upon me the true meaning of happiness. The Cheese Steak Shop is nowhere near my house and yet I seem to accidentally be "in the neighborhood" quite a lot lately. And while I've not yet partaken of cheese steak enlightenment more than once in a single day, I can't say that the thought hasn't crossed my mind.

On Thursday I met up with a fellow photographer and traipsed around South of Market in search of interesting things to photograph. I'm always amazed at the things I find when I'm really looking (as opposed to driving by at high speeds on my way to something REEEALLY important). I spent two hours and found a ton of things to shoot. My favorite find was an automotive shop with a muffler graveyard. The photo above makes me think some alien birthed it's way through the side of this unsuspecting muffler.

A multi-disciplinary artist hired me to capture the complexity of his creative process. We literally filled a room with all kinds of his creative work (writings, props, costumes, film, sketches, etc.) and got some fun shots.

Have you seen Pushing Daisies? It was a tv show that only ran two seasons, but I can't get enough of it. It's kind of a fairy tale mystery series chock full of dark humor, colorful characters, and great actors. I'm sure it's dramatically unique style was too much for the average viewer to handle, but I wish it were still running. It was created by the same guy who created Dead Like Me which was another dark comedy series that was canceled too soon. What other off-the-beaten-path shows should I not miss?

Wednesday was my birthday (that'd be 37 for those who can't count... John). For the grand occasion I drove an hour north and hiked 8.6 miles round trip to Alamere Falls. I've been wanting to make that hike for a few years now and the day of my birthing seemed like the perfect time to do it. The hike was pretty with some great coastal views, lush valleys and tons of that quiet nature stuff. The main falls drop 40 feet right onto the beach (and when the tide is in, right into the ocean). A higher portion of the falls created this picture perfect cove with a small waterfall spilling into a pool. Naturally I had to get naked and get in the freezing waterfall. It was, afterall, the best way I could think to celebrate my 37 years on the planet.
