For this shoot we had the full use of the Oakland Zoo. Even though it rained, we were able to keep dry for the most part getting the shots we needed. I love the railroad tracks at the Oakland Zoo, and as with my last shoot the train came just as we were taking the photos. I added a little motion blur to the train, but there was some natural blur as the train was moving. Special thanks to Toni from the Oakland Zoo for being such a wonderful guide and flash holder.

I absolutely love taking photos in North Beach.  I loved every minute of this shoot. They are truly a great couple, and I am really glad I was part of their special day.

Initialy I had to give them specific instructions on how to pose, and I had to remind them to be patient. After making a wine pitstop at a North Beach coffee shop things got a lot better. Here is the first batch from the day.

I offered him a free studio session, if he played at my studio opening party, he agreed. We both got a great deal, since I had a somewhat famous DJs spin at my event, and he got a great photoshoot. In addition to the DJing I also got exposure on the Energy 92.7 website, myspace, and other sites. I ended up giving him my deluxe package, 4 hours in studio and outside

It turned out to be for magazine advertisements for a Napa high-end clothing store, Mario’s. The models were the owner, his son, and the 3 founders of the multi-billion wine enterprise known as Sutter Home Winery. The shoot took place at the Trinchero winery, which is closed to the public and their most upscale brand, I believe. The theme was from rags to riches, however I think that for these guys it was not ever rags….

When I heard that Matisyahu was doing a $20 concert at Ruby Skye, I could not believe it. When I got there an hour before the show, there was a line to the end of the block, with all the tickets sold out. I had my camera, but still had trouble getting in. It was horrible, I spent 3 hours in the rain waiting. Then my a miracle happened, my friend came out with a cut wristband. I secured it with some tape, and in I went. Needless to say, being on stage during the performance was a lot of fun.
