Mr. Hyphen 2008

Mr. Hyphen 2008, orig­i­nal­ly uploaded by stechico.

I had the oppor­tu­ni­ty to shoot last night’s Mr. Hyphen 2008, a sig­na­ture event by Hyphen Mag­a­zine.

Back by pop­u­lar demand, Hyphen and the Oak­land Asian Cul­tur­al Cen­ter (OACC) present the 3rd annu­al Mr. Hyphen com­pe­ti­tion on Octo­ber 4, 2008, cel­e­brat­ing the men of the Asian Amer­i­can com­mu­ni­ty. Each year, Hyphen and OACC cel­e­brate Asian Amer­i­can men who devote them­selves to wor­thy com­mu­ni­ty caus­es. While struc­tured like a pageant with rounds of tal­ent, fash­ion and Q&A, Mr. Hyphen turns stereo­types on their heads in front of a sold-out crowd. Strik­ing a blow for equal-oppor­tu­ni­ty all-in-good-fun ogling, Mr. Hyphen is an ener­gy-filled evening of fun and char­i­ty. Rounds will be decid­ed alter­nate­ly by an audi­ence vote and by an illus­tri­ous pan­el of judges. The man who is crowned Mr. Hyphen wins a $1000 cash dona­tion to his non­prof­it orga­ni­za­tion.

Host­ed by writer/performer: Saman­tha Chanse

Con­grat­u­la­tions to all of the par­tic­i­pants, espe­cial­ly to Run­ner-up Mau­rice Seaty and Mr. Hyphen 2008 him­self, Aris­to­tle Gar­cia (pic­tured above respec­tive­ly). Spe­cial thanks go to Flickrite/Vaindeer/Hyphen Mag­a­zine’s Lan­lian for giv­ing me the oppor­tu­ni­ty to check it out and pho­to­graph. It was both enter­tain­ing and edu­ca­tion­al. Good times.

Gumball 3000 — SF 2008

I woke up ear­ly on a nice Sat­ur­day morn­ing to go to the City and meet up w/ the homie Mike B.. There, we head­ed straight to Nob Hill’s Fair­mont Hotel—the start of 2008’s Gum­ball 3000 Ral­ly. It was def­i­nite­ly an expe­ri­ence to see, hear and feel.

Here are some video clips till I get my Gum­ball 3000 pho­tos orga­nized, processed and uploaded to this set:
