moving on…
On Saturday we shot Animation Mentor‘s first graduation. The company does some really cool stuff and the setting was perfect with this great view of the sunset behind the Golden Gate Bridge.
The Contemporary Jewish Museum
Today we shot the Topping-Out of The Contemporary Jewish Museum here in San Francisco. As Wikipedia defines it, topping out is: is a ceremony done when the last beam is placed at the top of a building. The interior of the building shown here is the main wall that was preserved from the Jessie Street Power Substation and has been integrated into architect Daniel Libeskind’s design. It was interesting to see how the structure looked from the [...]
Our city hall…
We’re lucky to have such a nice City Hall building here in San Francisco. We’ve photographed many weddings, corporate events and galas here and tonight we shot the Pfizer Animal Health event where the place looked its usual magnificent self.
Dorothea Lange
When I was in school, I remember Dorothea Lange’s images captivating me and bringing me into the experience of the people she photographed. She was one of the first photographers that really made an impact on me and there’s a new book out titled Impounded that drew my interest. As a half-Japanese American, I’ve always been fascinated with the internment and Executive Order 9066. Her new book has tons of new work originally censored by the U.S. [...]
New Years | Resolutions?
So yesterday I perused First Thursdays, the monthly open gallery night here in San Francisco. I started off at SF Camerawork to check out their First Exposure book release and opening. First Exposures is a cool programs that pairs mentors to kids on a one-to-one basis and was something that I was personally interested in since we at Orange are going to be launching an improved version of our Social Photography program this year. Afterwards, I headed [...]

Baby Names
So I was reading the January 2007 issue of National Geographic, and there’s an article about baby names and since we do a bit of infant and baby portraiture, I thought it was interesting compared to the babies we’ve met and photographed. Top Ten Baby Names: 2005 Boys | Girls 1) Jacob | Emily 2) Michael | Emma 3) Joshua | Madison 4) Matthew | Abigail 5) Ethan | Olivia 6) Andrew | Isabella 7) Daniel | [...]
10:15 on a Christmas Night…
So we’re all spread out for the holidays and I’m now in the town I grew up in – Auburn, AL. Last night I went out to a place that used to be a restaurant but was one of the few bars open on Christmas night. The place was packed since it was one of the few options and I decided to bring the camera along. I totally forgot about the ‘zap’ man – who were the [...]
“Where’s Waldo?” a poem
So an astute reader pointed out that I was in a photo in Swells, Catherine Bigelow’s society column, so while eating a salad at Pluto’s today I saw it in person – kinda funny – although you can’t see my silvery pants.
Holiday Parties 3
Love this data (thanks to C.W. Nevius' article today in the Chronicle about the Office party): A Canon Copiers survey last year of its technicians in the United Kingdom found that 32 percent of service [...]
