A construction crew in the south-central Chinese city of Changsha completed a 15-story hotel in just six days! Holy crap! When you take a look at the amazing pace, organization and precision of the work it makes you think that the US absolutely SUCKS at construction! And by the way, the Chinese aren’t putting up [...]

My friend (and Woopra partner) Elie Khoury and I were wandering around the Embarcadero in San Francisco when we came across this nice Asian lady who was doing portrait sketches on the sidewalk.

I had taken along the trusty Canon 1D camera and was snapping away while wandering around. [...]
