Description: While walking down Broadway, on my way from Embarcadero to Columbus St, this Banana Republic advertisement, back dropped by the Transamerica Building, caught my attention.  Luckily I still had some twilight color left in the sky to provide the deep contrast between the white advertisement and the background.  Like most photographers, shooting during the [...]

Description: I had a little fun processing this photo and I am very pleased with the outcome.  I was experimenting with a process I’m calling “Lightroom HDR.”  It’s not technically HDR (High Dynamic Range), but it tends to have that appearance.  This photo was captured during the same outing as Night Train to Nowhere at [...]

Description:  During this outing, my battery ran dry and my backup failed.  I turned to my photo partner and he let me borrow his Digital Rebel XTi for the remains of the evening.  We continued to shoot in the lights reflecting off the Cliff House.  It was pretty dark and hard to see the entire [...]

Description: This photo was taken while waiting for the sun to set at Baker Beach.  While sitting around, I looked up and saw those birds in the upper right of the picture approaching.  I quickly got my camera out and started taking a few pictures hoping to capture them as they flew over the scene.

I was recently asked to attend this wedding as an observing photographer.  The wedding planner is a good friend of mine and also wanted me to take a few marketing pictures for her.
There were about 150 guest (very rough number) and the wedding party alone [...]

Meet Ron.
After lunch, I was in a bit of a rush to get back to the office for a meeting, but I came across Ron asking for change in front of Taco Bell at the corner of California and Drumm.  I explained my project to him and he asked if I would give him $3.  [...]

Description: This shot was a bit hard to capture as there were constantly people going up and down the escalator here.  I specifically wanted one person in the image and did not have all day to stick around.  I was hoping to capture a little more blur in the passerby, but I did not have [...]

I recently started the Black and White Dollar Portrait (BW$P) Project. The gist is, I will offer anyone who asks me for money $1 in exchange for their portrait. Every portrait I take will be converted and processed in black and white. This project is a spin off of Thomas Hawk’s $2 Portrait Project.
Meet Mary.

Description: As a little kid, I was always fascinated by pinwheels.  When I see one or play with one these days, I can’t help myself but smile and remember my childhood and remember how simple life used to be.
On a photographic note, I’ve always been obsessed with the Golden Gate Bridge (who isn’t).  It’s one [...]

Description: My favorite images are the ones I take and think to myself, this looks interesting in theory, but I don’t think I’ll end up processing or publishing it.  Then I get home and look through them and I get a nice surprise.  This was one of those shots.  The yellow of the exit sign [...]
