Another year
Happy birthday, Gene X!
Dynamo Donut
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 […]
Thank You! Thank You Very Much.
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.
Vietnam by Andria Lo
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. […]
Our own rock star photographer: Andria Lo
So we’re proud that our very own Andria Lo will be participating in an exhibition at SOMArts later this month!
The exhibit is called filtered – beyond the first layer and the opening is on Friday August 29th from 6-9pm. As the exhibit says: “Andria Lo is a professional photographer whose personal work presents a curious look at the everyday/night by often capturing scene that cannot actually be perceived by looking.”
Check out the exhibit to see the […]
welcome megaphone
We acquired a megaphone this week – a most useful device. It has already boosted productivity in the studio 25% and it came especially handy for this group shot in front of the Mark Hopkins Hotel. Here’s Jack in action positioning 200 people for this massive group photo!
Andria and the megaphone are a nice match.
The other Olympics…
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 [...]
Eat, Drink, Be Merry!
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!
Control/Anton Corbijn
Photographer Anton Corbijn’s debut as a director is Control, a biopic about Joy Division lead singer Ian Curtis, and it’s a wonderful film. Having been heavily influenced by the Manchester sound and aesthetic, it was nice to see this film and how Corbijn treated the subject matter. The film is infused with the music and feel of 1970’s Manchester (Macclesfield, more specifically) and those who are familiar with that era and time will get a kick out [...]
