i love this picture. from a recent wedding....friends. have yet to post any from the wedding...but will soon! i think i want to do a series of photographs of people talking to me. it would be funny...say whaaat!! and i have bad hearing from all the loud punk rock music and going to shows and probably from years of swimming. huh?
and this one cracks me up too:
My friend Jenny's adorable son that i photographed for a family portrait -
And my best friend's son being so good and standing so still for this old hasselblad -
Here are a few oldies from last summer that ive found again...i'm in the process of making my second book for ny and i'm digging in ditches to find new and different images that i wouldn't have thought twice about last year. i love my dog reese and he is my favorite thing to photograph bc of his quirky & playful and silly personality. i could write a more interesting blog all about reese rather than me....how he loves to eat the cardboard center of a toilet paper roll or pick up a plate of brie cheese from the counter and bring it to the living room, delicately unwrapping the plastic wrap without at all tearing into it or his cheerful growls. anyway, reese playing on the beach, the ride from dillon beach with george's friends from rhode island, and Reese being one of the passengers.. And a sunsetter of random guys atop a rock in Tomales.
fun night of two gallery shows: sf exposure featured San Francisco based photographers Mike Kepka, Ray Potes and Ted Pushinsky. later at hamburger eyes magazine release party at 111 minna, featured more street photography of slices of life...fun pictures...and a david bowie spotting. http://www.hamburgereyes.com/

I love these portraits so much i just had to share before i am even finished editing! from a recent wedding and fabulous hats....
The last couple of months I have been helping facilitate a fundraiser for Project Luz, a photojournalism workshop program for marginalized youth in Mexico. The fundraising event takes place this Friday, June 26, at 111 Minna from 5-9 pm. Funds raised at this event will go directly to three workshops this summer in the states of Sonora, Mexico, and Oaxaca. We will have raffle prizes, silent print auction and live music. This will be a very fun event!! I hope to make it to one of the workshops to teach.
Hi there! Lately I've been only posting pictures so here's some words.
Last Thursday i went to exposure gallery in sf to see friend photographer kevin german show his on-going documentary work in vietnam. kevin is an inspiration. he is a thoughtful photographer who jumped from newspaper photography to being his own now based in Vietnam. You can see his work here:

I myself have been catching up on wedding pictures, and have yet to begin editing my journalism stories from Mexico...and lately I have been shooting for the sf chronicle. i visited my old stomping ground foreign cinema a couple weeks ago where i worked 10 years ago in its first year, now under different ownership. Here are some images from that shoot of the husband/wife team and kids:
This wedding took place at beautiful Las Trancas hacienda. Thanks to the fabulous photographer Holly Wilmeth for having me there to photograph!
