Walking away

2017-07-24T21:19:09-07:00By |Categories: Uncategorized|

Seeing a lot of the work of the wondeful photographers we have as part of Orange, I realize there’s something about the ‘walking away’ shot of the just married couple that has this special energy to it. I’ve seen lots of great ones that Jack has taken, and when I was editing my most recent wedding, I liked this particular shot…

Our beautiful city

2017-07-24T21:19:10-07:00By |Categories: Personal, Point of View|

Tonight I shot a private event at the Hotel Vitale and the view there is really nice especially at dusk. I took this shot of the Ferry Building and was pleased with how it turned out. Over the weekend and tonight I’ve been reminded of how lucky we are to live in such a beautiful city as San Francisco.

Future Assistants

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.

Red is the new… orange?

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…

Stanlee Gatti’s brain…

2017-07-24T21:19:10-07:00By |Categories: Point of View|

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 [...]

7×7 Magazine Hot 20 Party

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.

Colin Powell

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.

San Francisco Magazine Fallfest – Wells Fargo First Class Lounge

2006-10-07T18:22:14-07:00By |Categories: Point of View|

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

2006-10-06T19:43:26-07:00By |Categories: Point of View|

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…
