The team at Orange knows how to work hard but we also know how to have a good time! After a super busy and successful holiday season, we took a trip out to Tahoe to catch up with each other and get some fresh air. Naturally, there were cameras in every hand along with beers, good food, and […]
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 […]
Colin 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 a lot […]
Last 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 and plenty […]
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 notes were […]
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 […]
We had the honor of shooting the Sno-ball party, one of the many joint birthday parties we’ve shot over the years (remember April Mistakes?!) and it was quite a blast. People dressed up in many ways, and we’re honored that Betabrand has decided to use a few shots on their website (above). They’ve got some sweet threads on there so check it out if you need something to […]
Being a Green business, we are always looking at ways we can keep a minimal footprint while still providing excellent service and photography to our clients. Recently on NPR, I heard Pulitzer Prize winning writer Edward Humes being interviewed about his latest book, Garbology, and finally got to read it.
It’s a fascinating piece of writing, and really made me want to make Orange an even […]
Two recent documentaries we’ve watched focus on two very different photographers. The first is Chasing Ice, which follows James Balog and tells the story of the Extreme Ice Survey which he’s been doing for many years and follows the travails of Balog as he works to tip public opinion on climate change so that people will do what’s necessary to save our planet for future generations. Motivated by his daughters […]
