Yuuki had his second paid modeling gig a few weeks ago that I’m sure is certain to lead to superstardom for him. Hendrik needed a colourful subject to showcase the abilities of his latest iPhone app, ColorSplash, and to use in a banner image at the iTunes online store. Hendrik shot both myself and Yuuki to use in the banner, but I didn’t make it past the (Photoshop) cutting room floor. I told Hendrik I cannot compete with Yuuki’s level of cuteness. I’m just not small or yellow enough.

Please check out Hendrik’s ColorSplash app in the iTunes store, or at Hendrik’s own website for the app. At the moment it is one of the top photography applications for the iPhone.

Apparently the opening was a big success for the 2nd Annual Plastic Camera Show I’m in at RayKo Photo Gallery in San Francisco. I wish I could make a trip to San Francisco to see it… Thankfully the gallery has provided thorough photographic documentation of how things look, and I even spotted my own work in amongst everything else. The shot included in this blog entry is the one that was accepted into the show.
Here’s the slideshow of shots taken by RayKo’s PR photographer Tim Rollins.

The tulips used in this self portrait a week and a half ago were on their last legs yesterday. As I tidied up and prepared to toss them away I stopped to take the above shots of their lingering, dried out beauty.
This week from Free Will Astrology:
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): An American residing in Berlin had leukemia as well as AIDS. Doctors did a bone marrow transplant to cure the leukemia, obtaining stem cells from a healthy donor. The operation was a success — the leukemia disappeared. As an added and surprising bonus, the HIV also left the patient’s body. He has been free of both diseases for two years. I predict a psychological version of this double cure for you in the coming weeks, Leo. The healing you receive for one type of suffering will unexpectedly heal another kind, too.
