Have you ever heard about the condo lottery?  Chances are if you aren’t the owner of  a TIC (Tenancy in Common) then probably not.  One of the advantages to being a photographer is getting to see what goes on behind the scenes or observe politics and civics in action.  Today, among being Chinese New Year and National Signing Day for […]

Meet Rebekah and Thomas! Jack had the pleasure of spending their special day with them in early October and it was truly a beautiful day.

Ed Lee, San Francisco

So a while back we shot an opening for the Asian Law Caucus’ new digs on Columbus.   It was a nice affair and I like the work they do which I detailed in a previous blog entry.  Anyhow, with the Supervisors here in San Francisco deliberating over who the interim mayor will be, it seems likely that Ed Lee will […]

Behind the Scenes - Gavin Newsom Portrait
Gene and I recently had the honor of shooting Mayor Gavin Newsom’s official portrait in City Hall. Gene, of course, has shot dozens of portraits, but this one takes on special meaning as it will hang alongside all of the Mayor’s predecessors in City Hall. Mayor Newsom’s time in office comes to an end come January as he heads to […]
