July 17th: Ken Tanaka

Ken Tanaka, Chicago, July 17th, 2006

Wow, terrific image by Dan Mitchell. It lowers my blood pressure just to look at it.

Actually, the date completely slipped my mind (not that it ever took firm hold). But fortunately I inadvertently acted in defiance by shooting this. The time stamp is 23:39!

I'm sure glad that I didn't take this picture. (A little sarcasm.)
