Getting Ready…
So our first show at our new space is getting pulled together and it’s a bit crazy over here. Tomorrow we’re going to be participating in First Thursdays as a kind of warm up for Open Studios this weekend, and then we’ve got a private party we’re hosting the next week. Things have been crazy with several of us traveling for shoots, etc. so the place is a bit of a mess right now…
coming home
Traveling for shoots can be a lot of fun, but sometimes you miss home, and when home is San Francisco there’s a lot to miss. This morning I had to get up super early to catch my flight since I had a wedding to shoot back in SF when I arrived so it was nice to wake up on the flight and peer out the window of the aircraft and see a familiar sight…
In the presence of greatness
One of the perks of our jobs is being places we might not otherwise be. That was the case this past Wednesday night when I shot the 2005 San Francisco Symphony’s Gala. Not only was our very own Michael Tilson Thomas conducting the symphony, but famed cellist Yo-Yo Ma was performing as well.
Katrina
Katrina has affected many people and coming from the South and having been to New Orleans several times, I was very interested in what’s been going on down there. I saw some footage of the Garden District where I stayed last in January of 2005 and this one business was shown mostly submerged.
Fashion week observations
So this week we shot a lot of parties as we were the official photography sponsors for the Fashion Week after parties. On Saturday night I shot the party at the W Hotel which was hosted by industry415 and sponsored by Goorin Brothers, a hatmaker based here in the Bay Area.
sex with emily
It’s not everyday that we get to photograph two ultra sexy and unbashfully smart ladies in our studio. They are the brillant team that recently launched a podcast show entitled “sex with emily” – saving the world one orgasm at a time. We wish them much luck as they educate the masses on the trickyness that is sex.
Happy Birthday to us
So last week was our birthday and it’s hard to believe it’s gone by so fast. From the pad on Natoma to the studio/gallery space here at 1261 Howard and all the changes in between. From Colin to Traci to Scott to Katie to Sarah and Tara. It’s been quite the ride but I feel like we’re just cresting over the climb and the real ride is about to start.
Here comes Fashion Week – San Francisco
So we’re the official sponsors of the after parties for Fashion Week this week so if you are out keep an eye out for our photogs. Here’s a listing of the parties on the official Fashion Week website. See you all around!
Useful tools
This isn’t directly photography related but here are some really useful tools that we use all the time: TinyURL: this is a great site for making short URLs when you need to send really long ones since often email programs will wrap line breaks making long URLs not work right
Wedding Crashers
So last night my friend took me out to In-n-Out Burger and then to see Wedding Crashers. Since we’re in the industry of weddings, I thought it would be an interesting flick.
