While editing photographs from a wedding I shot the other week, I was intrigued by the faces of the older gentlemen. They have so much character. Here are a few portraits.
This picture is inspired by fashion. Imagine how things we wear right now (or desire to wear) would look funny in a 100 years:
The image was shot on a golf course in Pacifica. The toilet paper rolls were bought in Scrap - recommend this place for props. It is a store for creative re-use of things. You can find there random things for very cheap price. I payed $5 for about 200 old toilet paper rolls.
JNatural, an artist who I produce music for was featured in TIP Magazine in Berlin! I also did the photo, Didnt like that choice but I'm happy to have my stuff in Germany.

I'd like to display my recent work here and some promo cards examples because unfortunately I will be shooting a wedding this weekend and will not be able to attend Saturday's class.
I really enjoy working with perspective. I think about how our reality is already interesting and we don't need to use much photoshop to create images. I have nothing against photoshop but at the same time I think it is overused. So, I installed doors in the park that were rented from Urban Ore (great place to get props!), my model was freezing, the wind was crazy, I had 5 minutes of the desired sunset light:
Here are some promo cards I made. I think I need to make more because my photographs are so different, I don't have a particular style, and I don't know who my target is. I'd like to make a small promo book that I can give awaya but don't know where.
this is a series that i started this summer because i am really interested in the way that technology has taken over our generation. the faces on the bags are of the gmail emoticons that we see every day when text messaging and emailing.
Greetings to all! While I am busy at work like I imagine all of you must be, I have to stop and remember to have experiences outside of my photography habit. For those of you in San Francisco who enjoy the inspiration of music, there is an offering for a free operatic performance held at AT&T Park this weekend, . I so often enjoy a surprise of creativity born of this "cross training." May whatever breaks you are taking feed you.
Here's a a great speech by Edward Burtynsky regarding his images and the topic of sustainability. It's taken from the inspiring website TED:Ideas Worth Spreading.
Here's another site with solutions-based journalism that takes a big-picture approach to sustainability.
"Accepting his 2005 TED Prize, photographer Edward Burtynsky makes a wish: that his images -- stunning landscapes that document humanity's impact on the world -- help persuade millions to join a global conversation on sustainability."
Please come help me celebrate my second show A Quiet Selection this Thursday, May 7, in San Francisco at the 625 Sutter Gallery.

This is the active homepage of the Academy of Art MFA class 'IDEATION & PRESENTATION' that was brainstormed by Will Mosgrove and myself back in 2006, and is now in its second year of application.
Its creation and intent is to foster an individual's resolute conviction of their visual ideas; that their indelible ideative imprint is manifest in critically actuated presentation materials as well as practiced verbal elocution as being paramount. We take an aggressive approach to inviting outside guest presenters/critics in to every class that also assign bespoke projects in advance of their appearance to bridge those expectations and provide insight.
The summation of intent is to elicit a full complement of preparedness to pursue a career as a commercial artist with vigor, esteem and success with conviction; and not by following.
Thanks for visiting, please feel free to contact any of us with queries/comments.
