that is the rough translation (有頭有尾) of the initiation ceremony that smantis does every year to it's rookie members.

what actually happens is the rookie stands in the horse position across two chairs spread apart eating at a chicken head and chicken butt in a 'special' sauce prepared by j-smantis.

maybe that is why i don't own a smantis jacket or sweatshirt.

yestereday sifu-smantis called me up to cover the event, as well as their street performance and lion dance walk around chinatown. it would have been nice to get more than one days notice, but i would have done it anyway.

i spent most of the major shooting period trying to balance my flash to a canon 5d i had borrowed.
