Favorite tool of the trade
_after _before With the volume of work they do, while trying to maintain a high standard of artistic expression, i’ve been a big fan of adobe’s recently launched lightroom. It’s an superbly design program that takes the tedium out of working with so many images. I could go on for a couple of hours about it but any one working with a lot of imagery these days should consider downloading it and trying it out.
Headshots, headshots, headshots….
Another fabulous headshot test shot of Erwin our ace intern! We had a big crew shooting last night as we had 16 of the Orange team on hand for a pretty big shoot. Setting up was the biggest challenge and coordinating the logistics involved a lot of planning and gear. We pretty much cleaned out the studio bringing in 14 lights, five powerpacks, and four monolights.
CeU @ the Independent
Last night CeU played the Independent. I had heard her music and an interview on NPR early on Friday morning and decided to check it out. The show was a great way to spend a Friday the 13th.
Boogie Knights
Last night we shot the Boogie Knights event at Poleng Lounge. 7×7 Magazine and Smirnoff hosted the party and several of the Orange crew were there. Here’s Jamie and Andria enjoying a few of those Smirnoff beverages.

Smile!

The event was really impressive with an amazingly choreographed fashion show mixed in with a live auction, cocktails, dancing and a luncheon and dinner as well. Many of the movers and shakers from the Valley were present including Robin Williams.
Postcard from Paris
We (me and Kevin) were in Las Vegas the past couple of days for WPPI, being held at Paris Hotel. One of the products I think attendees were most excited about was Adobe Lightroom, released a few months ago. I was able to attend a few seminars which introduced me to a lot of neat features. While I’ve been using it regularly, I was unaware of just how dynamic it is. I have to say I’m excited [...]
Florida Everglades
Today we went out on the Everglades on an airboat tour run by Miccosukee Indian Johnny Tigertail. It was educational and a lot of fun and a great option for an eco-tour. We lucked out and got the craziest driver who was flooring the airboat and sliding it along the ‘Glades…
Wedding season begins…
The wedding season is also full year here in the bay area and certainly the smart couples do it during off peak season. Personally, I rather photograph them in the off season because the sun is awful in Napa during the summer months ; )
