Guillermo?

The first person named Bill, William, Guillermo (or some variant) to email me will get a special package from Panama. Don't worry if it doesn't make sense now. It will. Possibly.

Retreat

I'm dropping out for a few days to float the Deschutes. It should be just a big lounge scene, nature without man, with possible spillage from large pool-drop rapids. Courage. Oh well, maybe partying will help.

So anyway the blog will be quiet for a while. Nothing indeed.

Tour-Spiel

If you haven't yet been able to visit San Francisco's Pier 24, don't fret. Joe Reifer has posted a short time-lapse tour this morning on YouTube, so now you can visit from your desktop.


It's hard to believe it's only been a year since the place opened as the biggest photo exhibit on the planet. Judging by the current "Home" exhibit it has quickly morphed into one of the best, if not the best.

Bloggers were the first to sound the call about Pier 24, with posts here, here, and here, not to mention right here. Recently the mainstream photo world has picked up the drumbeat, with a nice feature in Aperture #203.

As of now it's still possible to book a visit on short notice, but I think it's only a matter of time before Pier 24 is swamped with photo tourists and visits will become a hassle. If so, Joe's video arrives at an opportune moment.
