Girlstock
Orange was on hand to capture the 5th Annual Girlstock in downtown Oakland as part of our social photography program. An excellent opportunity to see some local talent at intimate venues, plus the proceeds benefit two great organizations, The Positive Resource Center and Pets Are Wonderful Support. My favorite were the completely mesmerizing, sword-balancing Suhaila Salimpour belly dancers.
Gyros and Stock Images/Licensing…
So I am wondering if everyone else is as familiar with this woman holding a gyro as I am (excuse the cell phone image quality here). It seems every time I’m somewhere that there’s a restaurant serving gyros, I see this exact sign. I am not sure if the gyro stock imagery market is small or if this is truly the best and/or cheapest image, but this woman is ubiquitous (she’s even on MySpace!). Anyhow, I hope [...]

Moon over the strip…
Well it’s been insane of late as things have taken Orange all over the World. Spain last week and now Las Vegas again – this time for the Olympia Weekend.

I didn’t have the right gear to get a better shot, but snapped this one off [...]
Mr. Neiman
Artist LeRoy Neiman made an appearance at the Franklin Bowles Gallery on Saturday where they are holding an exhibit of his Femlin works. You may know this “mischieveous female sprite” character from the Party Jokes page of Playboy magazine. Anyhow, he was a real gentleman and quite the ladies man even as an octogenarian. In this photo, he models his line of Adidas sneakers (you can get your own here). Take note the purple socks! This man [...]

Olafur Eliasson Opening at SFMOMA
Olafur Eliasson’s exhibition opening was tonight at SFMOMA and the museum was packed with folks checking out his latest work. Halou and Zoe Keating were on hand playing downstairs and there was a nice mix of people on hand. The exhibition runs from this Saturday through Sunday, February 24, 2008 and I would highly recommend checking it out when you have allotted time to interact with everything at a nice leisurely pace.

Happy Birthday to us!
So they threw a party for us at the Embarcadero today and all kinds of luminaries showed up – below is home run king Barry Bonds talking to Charlotte Shultz while our illustrious Mayor Gavin Newsom looks on in his special Orange tie!

That’s right, Orange is turning six years old! The image on the right is the studio before it became remodelled Orange territory.
