We have been working with Help-Portrait for five years now and this year we participated at the Joseph Lee Rec Center in the Bayview district of San Francisco. Giving Back is important to Orange so we’re always happy to be able to volunteer our time and/or resources when we can. Once again this year we teamed up with First Exposures to help with the Help-Portrait volunteer effort. There were five stations set up […]
Wow, what a run this year! I felt like we were the best team in baseball and then the worst team in baseball, and then who knows what. Once we got into the playoffs and won the Wild Card it was an insane ride and I must say the Royals were probably the better team but we were able to pull out another World Series Championship for our third in five years – incredible!

Since we have always been philanthropic through our Social Photography program, we decided there was a great way to merge that with pinball and photography and as such, […]

This week we lost a dear friend in Don Anderson. Don was a mentor at First Exposures which is how I first met him, but he had done so much before that as well. He always brought positive energy to the classes and was a mentor to us mentors. I always felt like Don was the mentor that I should be and his knowledge and excitement about photography […]
Last week we photographed Bill Gates talking about philanthropy and a host of other subjects at the AirBnB headquarters in San Francisco. He spoke to Sequoia’s Michael Moritz and it was an interesting exchange to hear one of the world’s foremost philanthropists and tech luminaries speak. It was neat to see that Gates is a very down-to-earth guy, and still a nerd at heart.
As the event photographer, […]
We got to work this event that Key Events put on for Visit Denmark and SAS Airlines and you can see our photography team at work shooting Polaroids and such in this video.

The Smørrebrød brought back memories from the trip (I had it several times, and you can get some […]
