4) scotch – […]

Well this semester of mentoring is wrapping up and the final event will be the zine release party at Adobe Books on Friday June 5, 2009.

Exhibits are an interesting combination of prints and digital displays (even in the […]
My favorite Daryl Hannah character was Elle Driver of the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad in Kill Bill, so it was fun to shoot the Friends of the Earth benefit where she, among many others, was honored. Also in attendance were Julia Butterfly Hill (shown at right) and her friend Paul Hawken (not shown above). I’ve loved The Ecology of Commerce
Thanks to everyone who came out for our annual B2B photo station! I took this shot of a group of revelers who had no problem posing with a friendly old man. He was really cool and I think the photo perfectly depicts the attitude shared by all participants who – for at […]
So Thursday is Bike to Work Day here in San Francisco and we’re always psyched about it since 80% of our studio bikes or takes alternate forms of transit and we’re right down the street from Mike’s Bikes too. We’re offering free portraits for bicyclists and their bikes this day. Just stop […]
