These two kids were asking me all sorts of questions about my job during a wedding this weekend. I love how kids keep asking why and it’s nice because it makes you actually think about the answer to that question.

Orange Photography wedding photographer Vasna Wilson had her shot of San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom in today’s San Francisco Chronicle. Check out more of Vasna’s great wedding photography here. I’m also 99% sure that’s our friend and fellow photographer Drew Altizer there right behind the mayor with his back to us…

So I shot the Artists Ball at Yerba Buena and it was a party aptly titled Stanlee’s Brain in honor of event presario Stanlee Gatti. There were tons of folks on hand including Lars Ulrich of Metallica, actress Connie Nielsen, Willie Brown (da Mayor), current mayor Gavin Newsom, Billy and Vanessa Getty and plenty more. Since I shot it for the Chronicle’s new SFIS section, I can’t post anything except this shot that Jessica Mullens took of [...]

Scissors for Lefty (above) played last night at the Hot 20 Party hosted by 7×7 Magazine. It was a great but short set they played and the band themselves were very cool and down to earth. Also on hand was Q’Orianka Kilcher (in the middle, below) who played Pocahontas in The New World.

General Colin Powell spoke at the salesforce.com Dreamforce ’06 conference as the key note this week and we covered it. He also talked to some kids from the area and they stumped him here with some questions. General Powell was promoting socially responsible citizenship and America’s Promise which he does a lot of work for.

Today we shot at the Wells Fargo First Class Lounge at San Francisco Magazine’s FallFest down at Justin Herman Plaza. As usual, once the wine got flowing the green screen photo booth caught on and by the end of the day, people were lined up for their pix. We were superimposing people onto the cover of San Francisco Magazine and people were having a lot of fun with it. The event as a whole was a benefit [...]

Erin and Thad were married here in San Francisco today at City Hall. They were such an awesome couple and it was nice to have spent time with my fellow Southerners. They were in town from Kentucky and I not only served as their photographer but also as their witness. After the lunchtime vows, they headed off on Muni to Greens for their first meal as a married couple…

In Spain covering the Women’s World Championships this shot struck me as this Romanian athlete showed her true emotions on her placing. While making the top five in her class, you can tell exactly how she felt about it…
