We Do, the book that came out of the historic gay wedding decision by San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom around Valentine’s Day in 2004 featured some photography by the Orange team and we’ve been shooting a lot of civil unions from before and after that historic time. With the California Supreme Court recently passing […]
So this past weekend during First Exposures mentoring I was out taking photos with one of the mentees and came across this new gyro woman ad – this time for Chicken Gyros. I hadn’t seen this one and it is nice to see a new addition to the library of stock gyro women in the posters (as we’ve noted before on our blog). My mentee was mostly documenting graffiti and I actually was able to learn a [...]

They’re up! Check out the photos from Bay to Breakers 2008. Can you believe all this happened before 10:30am? It was an early start Sunday morning, but we powered through on mimosas and all that zany energy in the air. Some of my favorite were the Tetris folks and Girl with A Pearl Earring with her very own Vermeer. oh yeah and the return of the Elvises.Your favorites?
We had a grand time shooting the gala opening for The Birth of Cool exhibit at the Oakland Museum. We set up a greenscreen photo station to recreate the above Julius Shulman image, “Case Study House #21”. The original 1958 image (left) features Pierre Koenig, the architect of the house, standing at the stereo. While poking around the web, I found some images of the same house, that Shulman returned to shoot fifty years later when it [...]
Well one of the most fun things about event photography that I really enjoy is the fact that you never know who you might meet. This past weekend I was shooting at Casa Real, where we were shooting an event that Method 42 had produced and I ran into surf legend Jeff Clark. Most people have heard of Mavericks, the surf competition up here in Northern California and may have seen the movie Riding Giants in which [...]
Last night Creativity Explored had their 25th Anniversary Benefit at Foreign Cinema. The event had a silver theme to it (25 years, the silver anniversary) and most of the artists, mentors, board members and supporters were on hand on a beautiful and balmy evening. Creativity Explored does some great work and if you are an artist yourself or a supporter of the arts, CE is a great organization to get behind. In their own words, they are [...]
How convenient! Our studio is located right along the Bay to Breakers race course. Yet again, we’ll be setting up a bar and photo shoot for all the hams. This image was taken at last year’s party. Racers and cheering fans alike are invited to de/rehydrate at our “red cup” station. We’ll be out there 8:30am – ???
Past years Bay to Breakers photos:

Currently the San Jose Museum of Art has an exhibition called Robots. Since we do quite a lot of shooting over at the museum for green screen, on-site printing and various photo booths and candids, we get to see a lot of the work throughout the year. The Robots exhibit is pretty interesting and there are some great pieces. This piece is located outdoors and he was keeping an evil eye on us during our last shoot [...]
