We don’t shoot that many fashion runaway gigs but the chronicle asked us to cover Christian Lacroix’s new line up last Friday. Although it should be like shooting fish in a barrel, with the constant light changes, i found myself challenged to capture every dress that came down the runaway.

The San Francisco Bike Coalition’s Winterfest is a great benefit and a good time. The bike coalition does a lot for cyclists and transit riders in the city and since most of our Orange peeps ride bikes or take transit to the studio, we benefit from the work the SFBC does.

In this photo, he models his line of Adidas sneakers (you can get your own here). Take note the purple socks! This man [...]

That’s right, Orange is turning six years old! The image on the right is the studio before it became remodelled Orange territory.

Kara Saun, from season one of Project Runway (I’m eagerly awaiting season 4), was special guest at Gen Art’s Fresh Faces in Fashion launch party. Here she is (fourth from left) with some of 2007’s fresh faces.

WPJA (Wedding Photojournalist Association) has an artistic branch where photo journalistic images are creatively enhanced to take the image to the next level. I won 2nd place for the getting ready category and 6th place overall, check out the rest of the competition and winners here.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by our photo booth at San Francisco Magazine’s Best of the Bay Area party last Thursday. Among other bests, there was a dazzling go-go happy performance by local band Sugar and Gold. Jenn prefers to be behind the camera…
