So we’re getting ready to sponsor Jack on his AIDS/LifeCycle 8 ride and I test mounted a magic arm on my bike just to take a few shots with the camera to see what we could get. I didn’t quite feel comfortable mounting the new 5D MKII so I went with an older body and got this in the test round. I think going wider will be […]
This week was the Mexico vs. Sweden friendly over at MCafee Coliseum over in Oakland and we were hired for a public relations shoot which involved Ramon Ramirez. It’s always interesting working with people who have a fan base and Ramirez’s fans were ecstatic to have the opportunity to meet him. He was very gracious and friendly to everyone and it didn’t feel […]
Newsweek photographer Charles Ommanney had access to Obama before the inauguration and there’s a pretty cool slideshow on the newsweek.com website showing a selection of those behind the scenes images. I particularly like #14 which shows some of the mundane that happens even on such a historic day. Take a look…

I went to high school with Obama’s Press Secretary Robert Gibbs. Back then he was just Bobby Gibbs. It’s great to see him now in the White House and The New York Times had Nadav Kander take portraits of all of Obama’s team. The photos, as Andria noted in a previous blog posting are pretty […]
I thought this was a sweet photo. Unfortunately, I don’t have a photo credit. Any guesses as to the date? I love their natural pose and the details of the decor.
If you haven’t seen Obama’s People, Nadav Kander’s portrait series of Obama’s administration, posted online on the New York Times website, it’s worth checking out. Most everyone photographed looks a bit awkward, but I think that is the […]
I sent this image along to Mayor Newsom’s inaguration committee about a year ago. It seems they liked it so much… they’ve chosen to use it as the Mayor’s Facebook profile shot! The choice seems very appropriate as Jack Huynh was hired to get the photograph the night of Gavin’s inauguration reception at deYoung Museum and this shot was from his speech at City Hall. You can find the profile on […]
Last night I checked out the opening for”United in Nima: Bay Area and Ghanaian Youth Share Lives Through the Lens” at SF Camerawork. I do some mentoring in First Exposures so this opening had a personal connection and it was amazing to see the work the mentees did while in Ghana. The show is up at Camerawork until March […]
I received At Work from my family as a holiday gift and read it in one day so you know it’s a quick read. The book clocks in at 237 pages and has a nice mix of images and the back stories to them. I really enjoyed the book to get her perspective on how she produces the images she creates as […]
Wow, what a year 2008 was. We were busy growing Orange and got to see and photograph such a variety of events, celebrations, parties and more. Our very last shoot of the year was, appropriately, a New Years Eve bash and this was one of the shots from the last few seconds of 2008. We’re looking forward to another great year in […]
