		<description><![CDATA[Shot an engagement party for a lovely couple on Friday night.  It was held on the rooftop of a building in the Lower Midtown/Koreatown area.  The shot above is the view from the south side of the rooftop.  You can actually see the Brooklyn Bridge, a good three miles away.  I can't begin to imagine what it'd be like to have that view waiting for you every morning.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the eight years I lived in the Bay Area—three of which spent living in the heart of downtown San Francisco—I never once attended Bay to Breakers.  Friends and coworkers often participated, to the point of thinking up fun and crazy costumes (usually group-themed), but I never did.  I wish I could provide some valid excuse but really it just boiled down to laziness.  Weekends were my sleep-in days, Sunday the holiest of holy Days of Sloth, and I'd be damned if anyone was gonna get me out of bed before ten or eleven in the morning, let alone at seven o'clock.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last night was the Natuzzi event I mentioned in my last entry. For some reason, I always find myself best connecting with and having most fun with the people behind-the-scenes than anyone else. Which isn't to say that the partygoers aren't nice enough people, just that I seem to have more in common with the salt of the earth than the crème de la crème.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was recently approached to cover an upcoming event at Natuzzi SoHo, a showroom for what is apparently the largest leather furniture manufacturer in the world. I stopped by earlier tonight to scout the location and get the lowdown on the location, layout, and lighting (alliteration in the house, what up). ]]></description>
