It hadn’t occurred to me when we renewed our gallery lease, but a newly found perk was that we’re 100 feet from the start of the Giants’ World Series victory parade.
Fresh from watching it, I have to say it was about as much fun, condensed into forty minutes, as watching all the post season play. Phrases like ‘once in a lifetime’ and ‘ecstatic’ are hardly clichéd when applied to the crowd reaction to the Giants. My hands are so swollen from clapping, I’m barely able to write this blog entry. But, what the hell…
Enjoy this album, straight from the camera of my nephew and gallery assistant Jack Tremper. Aubrey Huff may have to explain what he was doing with that red thong, but there’s no mistaking Andre Torres’ look of sincere gratitude and appreciation- what a gentleman. Our gratitude to you, too, San Francisco Giants. And to Bruce Bochy, Peter Magowan, Bill Neukom, and Brian Sabean. And next year? I’ve already started to make hash marks on the wall behind me, counting the days until the start of the season.
