I photographed Frank as part of the Lust List for Creative Loafing, where readers nominate the Bay Area's hottest people to compete for the list. Being a piano technician, I wanted to find the coolest instrument we could, and this grand piano worked perfectly. He showed up to the shoot wearing a polo shirt, but I could see his ink peeking out under his sleeve. He agreed to show it off by wearing a tank.
