So last week was our birthday and it’s hard to believe it’s gone by so fast. From the pad on Natoma to the studio/gallery space here at 1261 Howard and all the changes in between. From Colin to Traci to Scott to Katie to Sarah and Tara. It’s been quite the ride but I feel like we’re just cresting over the climb and the real ride is about to start.
So we’re the official sponsors of the after parties for Fashion Week this week so if you are out keep an eye out for our photogs. Here’s a listing of the parties on the official Fashion Week website. See you all around!

Obviously this is using the ring flash, which we don’t use too frequently but has a really signature look…
Since we first launched Orange in the spring/summer of 2001 we’ve seen our neighborhood in SOMA evolve. Today there’s an article on SFGate about a building that’s next door to our original startup space and is just around the corner from the new studio space.
