Case Study House #22 is perhaps the most iconic and famous of Julius Shulman’s photographs and it is one of the many subjects in the documentary Visual Acoustics: The Modernism of Julius Shulman.
The film is quite educational and many iconic buildings that Shulman photographed are described with details on his creative process as well as what went into particular shots.
What’s interesting […]

Sports photography was something I thought could be my dream job when I was a kid. I was always interested in who took the shots that were on baseball cards and other sports cards. Then I recall seeing Walter Iooss‘ images and really thinking that it would be sweet to be a sports photographer.
This past weekend […]
Now that Arnold Schwarzenegger is done with his responsibilities as Governor of California, he had more time to spend at the sporting event that bears his name – the Arnold Sports Festival – which includes the Arnold Classic, among many, many other competitions.

So a while back we shot an opening for the Asian Law Caucus’ new digs on Columbus. It was a nice affair and I like the work they do which I detailed in a previous blog entry. Anyhow, with the Supervisors here in San Francisco deliberating over who the interim mayor will be, it seems likely that Ed Lee will […]
We recently had the honor of spending an evening with Tony Blair at the beautiful Fairmont Nob Hill. The former world leader made a visit to our lovely city to launch the Tony Blair Faith Foundation, a global education program that is particularly close to his heart. The program connects students across the […]
Gene and I recently had the honor of shooting Mayor Gavin Newsom’s official portrait in City Hall. Gene, of course, has shot dozens of portraits, but this one takes on special meaning as it will hang alongside all of the Mayor’s predecessors in City Hall. Mayor Newsom’s time in office comes to an end come January as he heads to Sacramento to […]
So I couldn’t really decide on a single image so I thought that using two worked because it reflects a lot of the type of work I do as well as my approach.
Just recently I had this exact situation of control vs. spontaneity face me. A commercial shoot for a new startup hired me to shoot a new ad campaign image for them the day before the […]
