The other Olympics…
So while the Olympic torch was stashed away for Wednesday’s torch run, and a rally was held at United Nations Plaza to support Tibet, there was another event going on in the same spirit of the Games… the Arby’s Olympics – held at San Francisco’s only Arby’s in the Outer Sunset. The event was organized on Yelp and was an eclectic group of folks. The idea was hatched last year at Scott Howard of all places and [...]
Photo booths with on-site printing
So we do a lot of photo booths at various corporate, private and social events. This was a shot taken at the San Jose Museum of Art this past weekend. We had two stations set up to take portraits of couples for a private party and in a separate room we had our printers set up. People as usual started to relax and have more fun with the booths as the evening went on and we actually [...]
Another Photobooth, Another Party!

Full Moon over San Francisco
So tonight was a full moon and I had an engagement shoot to take advantage of the evening. We went up to Twin Peaks which was pretty busy since it was such a beautiful day. Here’s a quick snap of how it looked from that vantage point. (click the image to see the full width of the shot)
for the kids
We crossed the Bay to document the Crowden Music Center’s gala at the Oakland Rotunda. It was a really lovely event with performances from the young and talented.
Arnold again…
So another year another Arnold Classic to cover. This year was the 20th annual competition and it’s really grown – and maybe even outgrown itself. Our Governator was on hand for all the festivities and there were a lot of other luminaries from the health and fitness and sports world present as well. The weekend starts on Thursday and runs through Sunday and is packed with competitions, seminars and of course the massive Expo. Here’s Arnold congratulating [...]
Green feet
Some feet from a shoot at SFMOMA for the Take your time: Olafur Eliasson exhibit which is running there right now and is really neat – we recommend checking it out and as the name says – to take your time!
Notice something on Howard Street?
So you may have noticed something this past weekend as we projected a few images against the inside of our windows at the Orange Photography studios on Howard Street in SOMA. Perhaps as you were getting a latte at Starbucks, a fill at the Andretti Speed Mart or a late night munchie fix at Burger King? Keep your eyes peeled as from time to time we’ll be doing this as a kind of guerrilla marketing test.
Green Screen event photography
This past Saturday we were on hand to do some more green screen event photography up in Oakville and Anderson Valley. The shoot was for Silver Oak Wineries and it was a lot of fun albeit the weather wasn’t so cooperative, but still there were pretty big crowds on hand. (I think we ended up printing over 1,000 5x7s!) Since it was cold and wet outside, we used an image of the vineyard as the background which [...]
