Emrie + Matt – Engaged!

The Wildcat Canyon area of the Richmond hills is so beautiful. Emrie, Matt, Bebop (their uber-cute puppy), and I met at their house and cruised over to a sweet little area in the park for some pictures and fun. Emrie and Matt met in Santa Cruz and are going to embark on an exciting adventure after their wedding. Way to go you two!

  Here are some pictures for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy!

Cat and Max BBQ and Kids

Cat and Max – I love you guys – had a BBQ at their new digs. Yummy food, good people, and way cute kids. I think I could watch kids eat for days. Someone should make a TV show… “Kids Eating”. Enjoy the pictures.

Max covered the labels with blue tape… not wanting to offend any of his guests with his vulgar BBQ rubs. But their identities were revealed. And let me tell you, that was some…

Kids

I got a call from Jen at Saint Vincent de Paul on Friday. She wanted to know if I could come to a women’s shelter that they work with and take pictures of some of the kids there. How could I say no?

Monday evening Jen picked me up at BART and took me to the shelter (at a confidential location). Part of the challenge of photographing there would be that the images had to be taken in such a way as to obscure the identity of the subjects. This is what I came up with.

Concrete

Out of chaos comes order.

Just a couple of weeks ago, watching the excavators demolish my driveway and basement, it was difficult to see how the huge mounds of concrete and dirt would disappear. It was also difficult to imagine how my basement would be returned a useable state again.

On Friday, after a week of form work and planning, two concrete trucks, one concrete pumper, four finishers, and the guys who did the form work all came together to bring order to what felt like chaos. Here are a couple of pictures.

I Just received a Finao One Album for a client and took a couple of pictures before sending it on it’s way. We decided on a printed metal cover – kinda cool. Check it out.

Head shots with Zach Brown

I met Zach Brown yesterday in down town SF for our head shot session. We cruised over to Yerba Buena Gardens and then to the church across the street and took some pictures.

A little over a year ago Zach was working in North Carolina on his father’s farm when he realized he needed a change in his life. One evening, while watching a movie he decided it was time to follow his dream, by 2 am he was on the road heading to California.

May we all experience that sense of adventure and will to persue what moves us.

Here are a couple of images from our shoot.
