So I’ve been mentoring with First Exposures for a bit now and it’s a wonderful program. I first found out about it looking for information on a similar idea to get started up through our own studio here at Orange but found out that it already existed. Last year we got to send over some of our mentees to Ghana where one of the mentors had set up a similar program and the result is the […]
I walked into the studio this morning and was immediately hit with the smell of freshly brewed coffee (yes!) and some unidentifiable sugar product. I got excited. Julie was so sweet to bring in a box of donuts from Dynamo Donut in the Mission. We held a little tasting to sample the five varieties… these were about the best donuts I’ve had. They don’t abuse the sugar and something about […]
So we’re getting ready to sponsor Jack on his AIDS/LifeCycle 8 ride and I test mounted a magic arm on my bike just to take a few shots with the camera to see what we could get. I didn’t quite feel comfortable mounting the new 5D MKII so I went with an older body and got this in the test round. I think going wider will be […]
Last night I checked out the opening for”United in Nima: Bay Area and Ghanaian Youth Share Lives Through the Lens” at SF Camerawork. I do some mentoring in First Exposures so this opening had a personal connection and it was amazing to see the work the mentees did while in Ghana. The show is up at Camerawork until March […]
The proof for our a new postcard we’ll be sending out to clients. I Photoshopped the red cups out of their hands =). We wish you great things and wonderful photographic journeys in the New Year.
Andria was in Vietnam for vacation and just posted her shots from her trip. There are some amazing shots in the slideshow which you can view on her site. Andria has really been getting great shots throughout the year for our Orange clientele and it’s always nice to see what she produces in her own time too. […]
So we participated in Career Day at Thurgood Marshall Academic High School here in San Francisco last week and it was a lot of fun. Although students seemed pretty apathetic, it was cool that they were honest like the time I asked them if our group was less or more boring than the previous group and one girl blurted out “more”.
Here’s a few shots they took as I passed the camera around and explained what we […]
A few weeks ago we shot the Full Circle Fund which we did as part of our Social Photography program and one of the folks on hand was Nobel winner Muhammad Yunus. He is one of the pioneers of microfinance and was a genuinely nice and humble person as well. We’ve been so slammed of late […]
Earlier this week we shot the Taste of the Bay benefit for the Hospitality Management Program at San Francisco State. It was held at the St Francis Yacht Club right on the Bay and while it was a foggy evening the event was a big hit and helped raise a lot of funds for the program. It’s always […]
Once again this year as part of our Social Photography philanthropic program, we’ll be one of the sponsors for the Full Circle Fund’s Forum 2008: Philanthropy Remixed next month on Nov 13, 2008. Find out more about the program which features Sheryl Sandberg, COO of Facebook and last year […]
