Museums are great because they can bring you back to the past, but a good museum can also propel you into the future or at least make you think about it. The Computer History Museum does just that and we’ve shot all kinds of events there from an Audi test drive event in the parking lot to numerous tech parties. The museum has […]
Successful people have little reason to change… makes sense doesn’t it? That’s sort of the gist behind Marshall Goldsmith’s book “What Got You Here, Won’t Get You There”. It’s a great read for anyone who works with others and/or is a leader so it really hit home for me. As a small business, one of our most important assets is our people, and we’re always striving […]
Zilch is a book about doing more with less, something we hold as a value at Orange. Since our inception, we’ve always valued that, not just because we bootstrapped our company but also from a social responsibility angle. Waste is something we don’t like, especially when reducing it can both save the environment and save you money so this booked piqued my interest.
It’s written by Nancy […]
Several weeks ago, Steal Like an Artist was trending online and it’s a great perspective (read it if you haven’t yet).
One of the things I like to ‘steal’ are ideas from experiences. In the strictest sense this isn’t really stealing, but more like inspiration. However, when you travel a lot for shoots, you have opportunities to explore and get ideas. Between my two shoots in Texas last week […]

Lifehacker is a great website for tips and tricks – we subscribe to their RSS feed […]
We shot for Automattic last week and one of the coolest things was the Macbook Airs that a few folks had. CEO Toni Schneider is shown here showing off his laptop in the photo above and I was like, I gotta have that too! It’s also a great marketing/branding element for anyone who’s got folks out in the field a lot. And it’s a great corporate gift […]
In these busy times it’s often hard to find inspiration for ideas whether it’s for your photography, or for running your photography business. One of the ways I like to spend time is listening to This American Life when I travel or when it’s actually on the air. The program is fantastic with all sorts of stories about an unimaginable number of subjects. […]
Zappos probably means different things to different people, but to us at Orange Photography, we think of them as a company with a great culture and focus on customer service – two values we hold quite dear ourselves – so it was fun to finally get to check out the Zappos Insights Tour at their […]
We were very proud to be a part of this week’s ISES Northern California Chapter Biennial Vendor Showcase. The event, which took place at City View at Metreon brought together local event vendors from across Northern California for the “Let’s […]
We provided PR event coverage last week for Schwab IMPACT 2011. The event took place at Moscone Center, and brought together industry heavy-hitters, including PIMCO founder and co-CIO, Bill Gross, and Charles Schwab’s chief market strategist, Liz Ann Sonders. The event featured notable keynotes from luminaries, Charlie Rose, Tony Blair,
