Hyper Drive

I did 4 assignments in one day and they were spaced out all over the peninsula. I logged about 200 miles that day and still managed to get all my work done. Skipping lunch, driving fast and praying for no traffic you realize that there are not many people cut out for this job. I can meet strangers and make them my best friend in 5 minutes with a camera, but without it I stumble over every word and feel awkward.

On the River

I am photographing an attorney that had once won $26,840 on Jeopardy and has now returned from playing in the World Poker Tour. He won his original $10,000 back, but was already on a sponsored satellite program so he was ahead about $9,800. I start talking poker with him and he recommends I read Phil Gordon's "Little Green Book." He jots it down on a post-it note and I leave the building thinking I wish I could win money and not even care.
