6184_KellyMaloneSpeakeasy_RAW_0302fYou may have heard that Speakeasy has a new taproom designed by Kelly Malone and we finally checked it out during a fundraiser for her.  The place is gorgeous and we set up a photobooth for the benefit too and because of the design it was a cinch to make it look amazing since the design and interior is so sweet.  The gangster speakeasy style […]

What’s the best part about event and hospitality conventions? Going home with all the freebies? Well, aside from that, it’s a chance to get great personal interaction and insight from the kinds of companies that you cross paths with every day. It also provides a rare opportunity, as so much is done virtually these days, to put everyone and everything into perspective. Visiting an exhibit booth […]

genex2013_0045fIn case you hadn’t noticed that the city might be a bit more tipsy than usual, that’s because it’s San Francisco Beer Week!

We covered the Opening Night gala on Friday which has grown tremendously over the years and during the week there are a ridiculous number of events going on. There’s probably a lot of “working from home” or calling in sick (which I guess could be […]

If you aren’t already at the DIPA Fest then you might be remembering all the great beers from last night’s opening celebration for San Francisco Beer Week!

Like many, we first had to grab a taste of Pliny the Younger.  Always a hugely popular brew, I felt kind of sorry for the Russian River folks with such a huge line right from the start.  But there were plenty of great […]

Ever since Polaroid announced that it was done with instant photography and the Impossible Project started up, I’ve been obsessed with instant photography.  I had some of the last packs of Polaroid film and still have one pack in the fridge that, most likely, I should use pretty soon.

Anyhow, when I heard about Instant: The Story of Polaroid was being released, I was excited to check […]

149_5153_teamred_TL_149Colin Kaepernick has got all the hype right now and we recall photographing him the first time and how chill and down to earth he was.  In October of 2011 at the 49ers facility in Santa Clara, I spoke with him about what it felt like to be in the NFL and a 49er.  He was super excited to play and watching him hum passes was […]

20130117_210545Last night we had a blast at The Bold Italic‘s 2nd microhood event here in the Dogpatch, 3rd Base.  If you stopped by the Dodocase space, then you probably hopped into our photobooth and tried some samples of delicious Almanac Beers, or maybe some Spicy Vines Spiced Wine?  Of course there was the addictive Bacon Crack from Nosh This available too […]

the zen of tony bennett

Most people know of Tony Bennett as the amazing musician, but he’s also a painter and does watercolors.  I had just come from checking out a watercolor show of a high school friend, Iain Stewart, when I decided to crack open this book and start on it while visiting my family in Alabama.

Right off the bat, some of the things Bennett […]

Help-Portrait wrapup 2012

2017-07-24T21:23:00-07:00By |Categories: Giving Back, Point of View, Portraits, Special Events and Meetings|Tags: , , , , |

Help-Portrait was a lot of fun this year and Orange was happy to participate including donating equipment and supplies as well as manpower.  This year our Help-Portrait location at the Bayview Opera House photographed over 670 people and included 117 volunteers.  It was even crazier than last year and the vibe was fantastic.  The kids in First Exposures all had fun and realized the power of giving back to the community.  This video was […]
