We’ve shot at Carolands before but it’s really a magnificent property. We were there for the San Francisco Host Committee and Consular Corps Holiday Reception where former Secretary of State George Shultz was also honored by Poland. The Mayor was also on hand as well as several supervisors and the consular corps. You can find out more about Carolands on
So I just remember seeing something about Van Halen just last week in the Chronicle and then we’re shooting the holiday party for SKYY Spirits and there’s Sammy Hagar. Of course Sammy’s Cabo Wabo was sold to Gruppo Campari which is part of SKYY and Campari was just named as one of the top ten holiday beverages in […]
This shot was taken by Geoff Callan who insisted that there be a shot of the photographer so I grabbed Burning Man founder Larry Harvey so I wouldn’t be solo. I hadn’t seen Larry at the party last year and we had a nice little chat about art, etc. […]
So we had a rare evening off and took the studio out to dinner and drinks last night. We had a solid dinner at the Oak Room at the Westin St. Francis and then went for drinks at Bacchus Kirk following. Now it’s back to more client holiday party photography as we’ll be doing about ten over the next couple days… Happy Holidays!
Maurice Hicks gains some yardage during San Francisco’s 27-7 loss to the Minnesota Vikings at Monster Park on Sunday Dec. 9th, 2007. We were on hand to shoot the game as we also photographed the opening ceremony for Standard Pacific’s awarding of scholarships to three students on the field. Unfortunately the 49ers weren’t able to pull out a victory for the home team though.
Green screen photography is a really popular type of event photography that we do here at Orange. During the holiday season, many of our clients ask for green screen photography which entails shooting against a chroma-key backdrop. Then the background is dropped out digitally and the image is then put onto whatever other image/scene you want. At one of our Saturday evening parties, our client had us shoot several different scenes from around the world. Here’s three […]
So the Holiday party season is upon us and we’re busy with multiple parties kicking things off here at the end of November. We got our requisite test photographs with our staff of photographers here at the San Jose Museum of Art for the Rackable Systems Holiday Party. In Brady Bunch fashion (clockwise from top left) is Nikki Ritcher, me with […]
Tony Award winner Duncan Sheik was in town for ACT’s Producers Circle dinner tonight. I was fortunate enough to have seen Spring Awakening on Broadway with my sister earlier this year so it was nice to see the man behind the music. Of course having grown up in the 80s I also recall him from his big hit back then. He still looks pretty young but then I guess I hope I don’t look too old too!
If you’ve received the latest copy of PDN or Professional Photographer magazine (or one of the many other industry publications) you may have seen the listings for the presentation times for Imaging USA.

Today was spent checking out art at various galleries, including a trip to 49 Geary specifically to check out the Edward Burtynsky Quarries prints at Robert Koch gallery. If I was wealthier I would have picked one up as a gift and got some of my holiday shopping done but instead I didn’t buy anything today. The new Crouching Spider by Louise Bourgeois on the Embarcadero was another stop and it’s a nice piece, although I wish [...]
