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 [...]

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!

So Deniz and Chris got married this past weekend and it was my first wedding of the 2008 season. They had their ceremony at Dog Patch Studios which is a nice photography studio here in San Francisco. We originally met Deniz through shooting some events and graduations for Carnegie Mellon West as well as for Azureus and now Vuze as well. Congrats you two!

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.

The Canon 1200mm lens…

So if you want us to name something after you at the studio (like the “Jane Doe gallery”) feel free to buy this lens for us – B&H has it in stock right now. There’s a good article posted on their site by Allan Weitz that talks about this lens with some sample shots that illustrate just how much of a tele this is!

Edward Burtynsky and Manufactured Landscapes – interview

Jennifer Baichwal produced the film Manufactured Landscapes about Burtynsky’s work, and it’s an excellent film which is now available on DVD. If you haven’t seen Burtynsky’s work before, it’s highly recommended to view it preferably in a gallery environment since the impact of the imagery [...]
