Well as it always seems in the US, the holidays are upon us earlier and earlier. We’ve sent out our holiday promotional emails to our customers and they seem to be a hit.
We also found the perfect gift for the studio so if anyone wants to get this for us, we’ll throw in a free studio portrait shoot for this Guinness Kegerator (as well as free […]
The suite we’re staying in at the Hyatt Regency here in Atlanta, GA has a nice window that I decided to leverage for my first shoot in the morning which started at 5:00am PT. This was taken by Hans Klein who was sitting in on the shoot while James Cook was assisting. Personally I ended up liking this making of shot more than the actual photo.
Taura shot the 7×7 Magazine Bring on the Night party at Bambuddha on Tuesday night and it knocked a few of the Orange team outta commission. Here’s a few photos from the festivities.
I have always liked the Canon logo as far as a brand goes and even remember drawing it on gutters in my notebooks. Since we’ve largely standardized on Canon gear, I was looking up some info on the parent company and found some interesting info out on the origins of their brand.

Once we were there we were greeted with a spectacular view of San Francisco, and a plume of black smoke from a fire in the Mission.
So we had six shoots on Thursday night… #1 – SFMOMA Member Sessions #2 – Passion and Provocation #3 – Group photo #4 – Leadership SF #5 – NAR Gala #6 – Countrywide
Real models make our jobs so easy. Tonight we shot an event for Nordstrom with designer Dana Buchman and there was a runway show staffed by some models from San Francisco. Some people say models are overpaid, but when you work with good ones, it helps to make everyone look better…
Salesforce.com CEO Marc Benioff started chatting with me about camera gear tonight and I found out he has a 1Ds which seems to be the camera of choice of the well heeled. A top Democratic official I spoke with at a political event also shared that he too had a 1Ds although he didn’t quite know how to use all it’s features.
