So last night Tipping Point had their 2008 Benefit party at Bimbo’s. They raised a lot of money for the groups they support and all sorts of luminaries were on hand. The work Tipping Point does is really impressive and you can find out more in this video they produced.
It was just us girls at the Boys and Girls Club of San Francisco event Saturday. They’ve created a fantastic clubhouse complete with pool tables, computer lab, photo studio, darkroom, and silk screening. The girls were really showered with attention by all the volunteers. Was great to see and document.

So while the Olympic torch was stashed away for Wednesday’s torch run, and a rally was held at United Nations Plaza to support Tibet, there was another event going on in the same spirit of the Games… the Arby’s Olympics – held at San Francisco’s only Arby’s in the Outer Sunset. The event was organized on Yelp and was an eclectic group of folks. The idea was hatched last year at Scott Howard of all places and [...]
We were a sponsor for the Bark & Whine Ball, the only ball you can bring your best friend. Our photo booth station was a pretty big hit because we were projecting the photo shoot real time as the guests in joy and amazement.

We crossed the Bay to document the Crowden Music Center’s gala at the Oakland Rotunda. It was a really lovely event with performances from the young and talented.
So we had a rare evening off and took the studio out to dinner and drinks last night. We had a solid dinner at the Oak Room at the Westin St. Francis and then went for drinks at Bacchus Kirk following. Now it’s back to more client holiday party photography as we’ll be doing about ten over the next couple days… Happy Holidays!
Myleen and I donated part of our lazy Sunday to shoot this year’s Compassionate Chefs Cafe at the very delicious New Delhi Restaurant on Ellis Street. This was a lively Bollywood-themed event that benefitted both the Tenderloin After School Program in San Francisco and the Gandhi Ashram of New Delhi. We hear they raised over $16K! If you’re interested in working with Orange as part of our Social Photography program, please let us know.
