I finally had the opportunity to rent some gear this past weekend for a wedding I was capturing.  I must say, renting gear is a lot of fun.  Renting really gives anyone plenty of  opportunity to try out new stuff without breaking the bank.  If you are local (in the San Francisco Bay Area), for […]

Last Friday, I had the privilege of capturing the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts (YBCA) display of Nick Cave’s art exhibit, “Meet Me in the Center of the Earth,” to a private reception of YBCA’s top donors. The event was rather short and sweet, but still very interesting.  You can read more about the […]

Description: How many different ways can the Golden Gate Bridge, one of, if not the most photographed structures in the world, be captured?  I don’t think that number can be determined.  I’ve tried my share and I doubt I am even close to done. Friends of mine are not big fans of my converting my […]

Description: This photograph is actually hanging on one of my walls in my apartment.  I made this image a few years ago while walking around Chinatown.  I remember thinking to myself when I saw this person standing over this poster that the poster must have some meaning behind it (though I didn’t know much about […]

Scott Kelby’s Worldwide Photowalk is back again this year and scheduled for July 18, 2009!  I attended this walk last year and had a great time. At this time, it looks like there are two San Fransisco walks setup.  One is already full and the other just opened up for registration.  If you don’t live […]

Description: I’ve had some time recently to go through some older pictures that were processed pre-LightRoom.  This particular image was taken in Hawaii (where else).  I was on a mission to capture the typical Hawaiian sunset and felt this one came pretty close.  This photograph is one of a few taken during this trip, including […]

Description:  During my last processing session, I revisited my walk over the Brooklyn Bridge from my recent trip to New York.  This one is one of my favorites of the bunch.  When I saw this image screaming at me, I could not believe I had never seen a photograph of it before.  I’m not sure […]

Description:  Last weekend I had the opportunity to make a visit to the Monterey Bay Aquarium.  I’ve been to the aquarium a few times in my past and my favorite exhibit has always been the Jellyfish.  Between the mystical and interesting form of these creates and the the colors and contrast presented by the jellyfish […]

For the past few years, I have donated my time to take pictures at the TAKE STEPS walk put on by the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of America (CCFA).  Every year, it is a good time for a very good cause. Well, if you are in the Bay Area and find yourself riding BART, keep […]

Description:  This photograph was created during my recent trip to New York.  I pretty much had my camera on me the entire time and took of anything that struck my fancy.  For this particular image, I was so used to seeing people everywhere, it was a change to see no one sitting on this bench.  […]

This past weekend, I had the pleasure of meeting up with Becky & Chris to shoot their engagement session.  We made a first stop at Queen Wilhelmina Tulip Garden  in Golden Gate Park.  This is probably my favorite location for an engagement session when the weather is right, and it was perfect for us when […]

Meet Pete. As I walked home from the Papyrus Store, I came across Pete sitting in a wheelchair asking very quietly for change.  He asked so quietly, I wasn’t even sure he was asking for change and had to ask him what he said.  He repeated, “Got any change?”  I told him about my project […]
