18 Jan San Francisco for STERN Magazine, Photograph by Brown Cannon III

Last weekend I had my wallet, luggage, clothes, camera gear, a days worth of shooting and my spare tire stolen out of my rental car in the City by the Bay. But this is no sob story, rather the story had to go on. I want to make a quick shout out to my mom who daringly loaned me her camera and for chauffeuring me around like an under aged teenager. Thanks to Cedric for texting me a copy of my id. Without it I would never have made it into The Independent to hear this kick ass band nor would I have been able to buy that beer. And thanks to the thief for graciously leaving me with a single change of clothes. I am pretty sure I wouldn’t have made it past the door man in my wetsuit.
