So the big news has been out for a bit now, but we were on hand to take the press shots of Fritz Maytag,  Keith Greggor and Tony Foglio that went along with the announcement.  It was an honor to meet Mr. Maytag who’s really humble and soft spoken.  As someone who thoroughly enjoys beer (and especially craft brews) I owe thanks to Mr. Maytag.

The shot above was one of the […]

Sarah Silverman backstage and on City Arts & Lectures

2026-10-23T18:33:58-07:00By |Categories: Photography & Industry Perspective|Tags: , , |

badminton event photographySpring is here and in Sausalito it seems like the weather is always gorgeous and one spot we’ve been to quite a bit of late is Cavallo Point.  It’s a great spot and has facilities for events as well, so it’s a pretty popular spot over the Bridge.  What better background is there to play badminton, too, with the arches of the Golden […]
