This is the lovely panoramic view of the city from my accommodations for the photo shoot, David's apartment. This is from a second floor, which may give you an idea of how steep the hills in this city are. I'm convinced that everyone there must have a very firm derriere from all the hill climbing. I would never tire of this view. In the studio, there's David, looking very handsome and professional, and Kinsey the Chinese Crested being prepared for the shot by her owner, Roz. We had a collection of eighteen dogs that participated, from people's mixed breed pets, to the top Cairn Terrier in the history of the breed. He would take breaks between shots to look for mice in the studio. Fortunately for me, none were found. It's been ten years since I had last made the trip out, and I'm so glad I booked the shoot out there. For the book's sake, I think the pictures came out superb, and it was fun to see my friend and actually work with him again, much like we did 20+ years ago. I love San Francisco, too. I could easily live there. If the Man and I break up, which may be more of a reality than I had imagined, I have very little to hold me in Chicago at the moment, since the rest of my family is going to be scattered all over the country. I'm pretty cranky at the moment, and it hasn't been the happiest homecoming. Perhaps this is pay back for leaving in the first place. I'm hoping that things settle down in the next few days. I have to finish writing the book, and have my writing be worthy of the beautiful photography. I'm hoping to change my work situation as well, because coming back to my current situation was difficult after all the fun I had.
