Just last month we finally took our team out to explore Pier 24. If you haven’t heard about it, it’s an exhibition space that’s used to showcase photography. Much of the exhibit is from the Pilara Foundation Collection but they also showcase other work outside of the collection.
The collection on display during our visit (and that’s up until February 28, 2013) is called […]
I remember first seeing/hearing about the Gigapan when David Bergman shot with it at President Obama’s inauguration (see the photo here and read about his experience shooting it on his own blog posting). Recently one of our clients hired us to shoot a group shot with it and it was a lot of fun to use. The software is incredibly simple and so is setting […]
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 […]
On a recent trip to photograph up in Canada, we had a chance to stop by and check out Steam Whistle Brewing in Toronto since it’s located just behind the Convention Center and Intercontinental Hotel, where we stayed. The brewery is where Steam Whistle is brewed and they only make that one beer, which is a Pilsner. It seemed serendipitous that I’d […]
Having seen Amir Bar-Lev’s other work including The Pat Tillman Story, I was compelled to finally check out My Kid Could Paint That. The title of the documentary was interesting to me, even when all I knew about it was something about Marla Olmstead being a kid who paints similarly to Jackson Pollack.
But the film explores a lot of other topics – some about human […]
It’s coming up on a few exciting events that we’re both sponsoring. The MPINCC Annual Gala & Silent Auction is on June 6th and has a theme of “Sip, Savor & Celebrate!” while ISES-NCC will be hosting their Annual Gala on July 10th.
We’re looking forward to checking out The Winery SF on Treasure Island since we haven’t yet shot there, while the historic Old […]
We love Bay to Breakers and since our studio moved off the race path we hadn’t done a photo booth or photostation like we had in the past so this year we had access to a perfect street spot on Hayes Hill where we set up an impromptu photo booth and enjoyed our Sunday morning. Here’s a few snaps that we […]
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 […]
Recently I saw Sideways again during a trip up to wine country as part of an incentive trip we were shooting. One of the tour guides mentioned Bottle Shock as a better option since it’s about Napa wines more than Sideways was so I knew it was time to finally check it out.
If you don’t know the famous story of the 1976 Paris Tasting that vaulted […]
