The Twelve Santas of Christmas: #10) 12 Galaxies Santa

Frank Against the World

Another shot from Frank Chu's 50th birthday celebration. I really like how this has a sort of retro '60s feel to it.

Travel Thursday: 12 Galaxies

Thanks to a notice on SFist from fellow photographer Troy Holden, I was able to attend the 50th birthday celebration of San Francisco's own Frank Chu last night at the Palace Hotel. Frank is a legend in his own time, a modern-day Emperor Norton of a sort. About 25 people showed up to help him celebrate. He drank Budweiser on the rocks, ate a hamburger, and had a small cheesecake with a candle in it delivered to him by the wait staff. We all sang Happy Birthday to him and wished him well in his galactic travels.
