London Calling... is confusing. You dial 020 first, and then two sets of four digits. It goes Brrr-Brrr; Brrr-Brrr. Herein lay a few digital snaps from a weekend jaunt into the land of minding the gap, uncensored advertising, and giving thanks for American dental care. Better stuff soon... when my film comes back from the lab, assuming it survived Heathrow, where it received more x-rays than a P.I.C. lawyer's clients.

I'm a Little Embarassed to ask for this, but apparently I've been selected as a finalist for a 'blog award, and I need your help to totally Jeb the voting results. If you like my 'blog, I'd appreciate if you could go to the Bloggies Award site, scroll down a few inches to "Best Photo Essay on a Blog" and select "Jeff Phillips:The Chick Magnet". Thanks! Update: I won! Thanks to everyone who voted for me!

In the Chinese Year of the Horse I photographed the Chinatown New Year celebration, exactly one year ago today.

BTW, it's now the year of the Ram.
