WOOO HOOO!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR! (yeah I'm 15 days late... so what.)

The fireworks were wild, but that sh%t looked like Armageddon.


A few Roman Candles later & we were all pumped up & ready to see the real deal, so we headed upstairs to check out the sky show from the deck atop the gallery.










After having a few glasses of wine, we went outside to see a mini fireworks display in the street. Something about these photos really makes me think about the "Big Bang"... maybe it's how the bottom one looks like there's some kind of tear occuring in the space/time continuum... & the one above it is kinda like the beginning of the universe.




Hey wait a minute dammit! Is that George Carlin...?


Some New Year's Spirit for your a$$!

This New Year's celebration was a very special one for me, mainly because the party that I attended was held at Ore Projectz, the new art gallery in North Beach where I've had my work for the last month or so (850 Greenwhich Street, San Francisco). It was also a special night for me because it was my first New Year's as a 30 year old! I met some pretty amazing people that night, including Claudio, a photographer that used to work with some pretty famous models back in the day (He also cooks some mean lasagne & lentil soup), and Gary & Aline Brewer, both are amazing artists that were also showing at the gallery:

It's pretty weird the way some New Year's parties come together at the last minute... would you believe I really didn't think that I'd have that much fun, and that I almost considered staying in the house?! Bananas.
