ASMP has been putting on the Strictly Business series for a while now and having attending the last two, I can heartily recommend it. Many photographers have the mistaken notion that just becoming a better photographer is all you need to do to improve your business. While the 10,000 hours of practice theory that […]
Have you ever heard about the condo lottery? Chances are if you aren’t the owner of a TIC (Tenancy in Common) then probably not. One of the advantages to being a photographer is getting to see what goes on behind the scenes or observe politics and civics in action. Today, among being Chinese New Year and National Signing Day for college […]
So last week was The Special Event in Phoenix, AZ and I was honored to be a speaker at the conference. The best thing about going to these is that you get to meet new folks, learn and network. This year’s The Special Event was my first one to attend and it was definitely […]
Kim and Daniel had an awesome wedding, and we mean awesome in both definitions: “inspiring awe” and “excellent or outstanding”. This was a fourteen hour day for Jack and his assistant, but when there’s a dragon dance at the reception, does that really matter? Take a look at some of the beautiful images that were a labor of love:

So a while back we shot an opening for the Asian Law Caucus’ new digs on Columbus. It was a nice affair and I like the work they do which I detailed in a previous blog entry. Anyhow, with the Supervisors here in San Francisco deliberating over who the interim mayor will be, it seems likely that Ed Lee will […]
We’ve been busy with political shoots of late. Last year we photographed former Governor Schwarzenegger many times as well as other political notables. We were on hand at the private post-inauguration party last night for incoming Governor Jerry Brown who made a brief appearance as well as Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa. He may be the most photographed mayor of another city that we’ve […]

Nirav was planning a visit to San Francisco and wanted to surprise his lady with a ring. We set the time and location, I got ready with my papparazzi lens and I got some sneaky shots of Nirav proposing. The proposal shoot turned into an engagement shoot when Hinal said YES!

So I couldn’t really decide on a single image so I thought that using two worked because it reflects a lot of the type of work I do as well as my approach.
Just recently I had this exact situation of control vs. spontaneity face me. A commercial shoot for a new startup hired me to shoot a new ad campaign image for them the day […]
I really enjoyed spending time with these two during their summer engagement session, so was looking forward to their big day in October. Rain was expected but the weatherman was thankfully wrong again. For anyone keeping track this year, that’s Andria-3, weatherman-1. After sharing the slideshow with them, I received an email from Jenn that began “OMG!!!” and continued with equal enthusiasm about the photos, and that just made my day. Thank you to Patty Nason […]
