...heretical, cantankerous,wild, hysterical,
hilarious, colorful, funny, adventurous, vain,
original, sexy, crazy, beautiful,,,,
slap any term in psychology and sociology...
...and it's all true folks!
And it's miles and miles of "bay to breakers".
my diagnosis is simple...
A great majority of the SF population
is stressed out on account of work,
or not working, of passionate relationships,
or the lack of it's magic, in search of the right person,
 |
but there isn't any indication of a return to Peyton Place
|
 |
| not even a faint hello... |
or in search of more money and power, etc.
 |
| disguised as nuns ...beautiful ladies texting their boyfriends... |
which pretty much is the undercurrent throughout
the year.
 |
| "howdy!!" |
And the only way to relieve itself of tension
is evident by what we see
every 3rd week of May or
Vesuvius it shall be.
the first call for bay to breakers....
becomes a PDQ signal....

| looking to find a place in the sun after the march |
It's beyond and within reason and insanity,
B.F.Skinner would be pleased to join the craze.
All segments of society including tourists
 |
| tourist posing at twin peaks |
partake of the fun and pandemonium.
The energy is superfluous.
One feels powerless to stop it
should there be a desire.
Participants carry with them their fun filled
souls.

| dressed up as militias.... waiting to be seated at Zazzie in Cole valley |
Bohemians and non bohemians,
 |
| nourishment after miles of marching |
the normal and the nut-so-normal.
it's quite a crazy weekend...
 |
| exhausted....waiting for a ride |
somewhere near north beach....
SFAI commencement
exercises for 2015
were slightly a different kind
of mood....
 |
| the place was getting set up for the commencement celebration |
graduates with masters degree
are finally freed of the academic
shackles
and now have their full
time to devote to their
own kind of art.

| the rooftop corner where my easel was set up earlier |
 |
| group pic ops |
 |
| graduates and guests packed the rooftops |
 |
| more mementos |
 |
| "what are your plans???" |
 |
| plenty of wine, fun and laughter |

 |
| There goes Ozlem ...now with MFA |
i don't know about you
but i think i'd call it a day
already...
after all, we all
have to return to the
normal functions
of life that
awaits us tomorrow
that's all folks!
abiento! adios!
hasta la vista!
auf Wiedersehen!
sayonara!
