Eric contacted me to get some head shots and body shots done for his modeling portfolio. We had a great shoot, with 3 looks and 3 locations including Oyster Point Marina and the Embarcadero. Hopefully Eric will get some modeling work soon.

I woke up at 8am this Sunday morning in order to capture a wedding proposal. Matt called just two days ago asking me if I am available to shoot, and I was. We communicated via text message in the morning, coordinating logistics of catching up with them at the Palace of Fine Arts. Once I made positive ID, I followed the couple, acting like a regular tourist with a couple of professional cameras, taking shots of PFA and the couple when Meghan was not looking in my direction. While Meghan was taking a photo of the ceiling of the PFA dome, Matt got on one knee behind her and took out the ring. When she turned around she was very surprised. She said yes. Matt introduced us, and the three of us ended up walking around the lake to take a few engagement snaps. They met up with family in the Marina. I am glad it worked out the way Matt intended, and very happy to provide them with some great images to treasure.
More images to come soon…

Miguel and Audrey were a great couple to work with. With Miguel, being a serious model it was easy to get the couple relaxed for the camera. The photos reflect my general shooting style of capturing the feelings that are already there. Even though it was raining that day, we decided to go through with the shoot anyway. We were all glad we did, since the images would not be as unique without the rain. I include engagement sessions in all my weddings in order to get acquainted with the couple. Come wedding day we are all relaxed and have a great connection, which is vital for capturing breath taking images.

Kira Soltanovich called me up last week to shoot her homecoming show at the Purple Onion. I shot the 8pm show, and had a few friends join me for the 10pm show. It was interesting to see both shows back to back, because they were very different. Kira was hilarious, and her engagement with the audience was just amazing. It was hard taking photos, since I was laughing with everyone else. Lee Levine and Hasan Minhaj were hilarious as well.

The 2008 Crunchies is a second annual competition and award ceremony to recognize and celebrate the most compelling startups, internet and technology innovations of the year. Some of the winners were Facebook, Hulu, Digg, Twitter, Netvibes, Mebo, Smugmug and others. The event was held at the Herbst Theater, same place where I photographed Jane Goodall for the Leakey Foundation a few months before.  The after party was at the San Francisco City Hall, featuring Z-trip. I got a feeling that most people did not know who Z-trip was.
