Drones have been in the news quite a bit and the recently held National Association of Broadcasters conference in Vegas had a dedicated Drone Pavilion. We’ve been playing around with the best ways to do event photos with unique perspectives with drones and it reminded me of some drone light painting we did in Berlin a couple years ago. […]
Vacation photography is something that’s kind of a challenge for a photographer. When we go on vacation we’re supposed to not be working, but then photography as a hobby is something we would still want to do so it’s always a challenge to figure out whether you want to bring any gear, […]
Arcade Expo held their first event at the Museum of Pinball in Banning, CA this past weekend and we were on hand to cover the opening. It was a […]
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!
As […]
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.

Well we lucked out and got a Christmas/Holiday present from the Impossible Project folks of a Polaroid Close-Up Stand this past December […]

Part of my new year’s resolution was to run a marathon this year and I am excited to share with everyone that I am participating in the Big Sur marathon this April. To help me stay motivate and do something positive while training for the marathon, I am raising money for Children with Cancer charity, which help me […]
In case you hadn’t noticed that the city might be a bit more tipsy than usual, that’s because it’s San Francisco Beer Week!
We covered the Opening Night gala on Friday which has grown tremendously over the years and during the week there are a ridiculous number of events going on. There’s probably a lot of “working from home” or calling in sick (which I guess could be […]
