We were hired by the mayor’s swearing in committee to cover Mayor Newsom’s 2nd inauguration. Even though there were a bunch of press photographers at the event, i was fortunate to get special access to the mayor. I haven’t photograph many politicians but Gavin is definitely one of the most charismatic that i have observed.
_No body special I just got an invitation to the opening reception to Lynn Hershman’s exhibit entitled ‘No body special’. Lyn commissioned me to photograph this project for her and it was an quite the learning experience. I am looking forward to the exhibit, which runs from feb 2 until june 1 at the De young.
Lea and Gene’s wedding, one of my clients from 2006, is being showcased in the latest issue of the The Knot (Northern California issue). They have even put together a little slideshow from that wedding on their site.

We don’t shoot that many fashion runaway gigs but the chronicle asked us to cover Christian Lacroix’s new line up last Friday. Although it should be like shooting fish in a barrel, with the constant light changes, i found myself challenged to capture every dress that came down the runaway. I tend to shoot in Manual mode for most of my indoor work but i found that this mode burnt me few times during this shoot!

With such a fine city hall as our, even ‘civil’ wedding are fine art weddings.
I am really terrible about entering contests but i am making more of any effort this year. It’s something that if i had more time, it would be an enjoyable experiences to go through my work and pick some favorites. alas, time not being on my side, it was a rush job to enter this recent contest hosted by the Artist Wedding Photojournalism. See more of my entries.
Another successful year with our photo station set up on the sidewalk. fortunately(?), there were so many people running on the sidewalk that a number of them became part of the shoot. You can see more on my blog or view the complete online gallery.
Being short helps me get down to their level. Kids are larger than life and should be photographed as so.
