Above and beyond

I took a trip to Lennon this week on assignment to check out two guys and a grow shop. I was there officially to take pictures for an ad they are running in The Chronicle, but since I’d never been there, I took time to really look over what they had. I was surprised to find that they have really taken things to next level. From the outside, I got the impression that there wasn’t much there, but once inside. The extent of how badly I was mistaken set in under a luminous spectrum of superior growing technology. While sweeping the store for the best camera angle I was impressed to see how neatly they kept their truly massive stock. Wheelchair accessible isles allowed for some very inclusive wide angle shots of the merchandise. Still skeptical, I decided to question the mild mannered misanthrope behind the counter about his wares. He presented such a clear and concise understanding of his craft that I was, for the first time ever, literally left without speech.  He was truly a master of his realm.  Dazed I stumbled into what I thought was a dark room for people to collect themselves after such a righteous experience. Clearly I was in the presence of greatness, but with a flip of a motion sensitive light I was confronted yet again with sites never before conceived by the feeble mind of man. It was their very own dirt room with more medium varieties than anyone else around. I must have blacked out after that because I woke up later in my bed. You may think it all a dream but in my pocket was a small card that not only proves the existence of this Shangri-La but also reveals its exact location. I’m putting together a second expedition in November, contact me for details.
Pic's will be in soon
