Newsweek photographer Charles Ommanney had access to Obama before the inauguration and there’s a pretty cool slideshow on the newsweek.com website showing a selection of those behind the scenes images. I particularly like #14 which shows some of the mundane that happens even on such a historic day.  Take a look…

young Barack and Michelle
I thought this was a sweet photo. Unfortunately, I don’t have a photo credit. Any guesses as to the date? I love their natural pose and the details of the decor.

If you haven’t seen Obama’s People, Nadav Kander’s portrait series of Obama’s administration, posted online on the New York Times website, it’s worth checking out. Most everyone photographed looks a bit awkward, but I think that is the […]

A Five Star Afternoon wedding fair wrap up!

Gavin FB Profile
I sent this image along to Mayor Newsom’s inaguration committee about a year ago. It seems they liked it so much… they’ve chosen to use it as the Mayor’s Facebook profile shot! The choice seems very appropriate as Jack Huynh was hired to get the photograph the night of Gavin’s inauguration reception at deYoung Museum and this shot was from his speech at City Hall.  You can find the profile on […]
