Healthy Penis

After taking a hiatus, the "Healthy Penis" campaign of San Francisco is back! Created in 2002 to raise awareness about the state's syphilis epidemic, it ran so successfully that they tried to adopt it in LA...with no luck. Being the mascot of the city, the 8 foot penis is targeted also towards gay men in an effort to get them screened as well as to urge them to use protection.

Digital postcards

Whilst I was in Hawaii, my sister showed me an old friend's album on smugmug. Abe Choi is one of the kids from our tight-knit Korean community in our small town in Mississippi. He and my sister's paths crossed in Boston, as they both went to university there. It seems like he took off, sorta like my sister did for Hawaii, and dropped everything in pursuit of a better life. Here is his collection of photos he has taken from around the world. Breathtaking pictures that really inspire me and motivate me to see the rest of the world. He is now residing in South Africa, last I heard from my sis.
