DIALOGUE Festive Seasonal Dinner with Tina Dang

I was invited (and jumped at the chance) to photograph a lovely, late autumn, seasonal dinner collaboration with DIALOGUE and Tina Dang. DIALOGUE is a dinner series organized by Rimma Boshernitsan focused on bringing together curious minds to break bread and connect through dialogue. Tina is an personal chef, and one of those people who is full of life and just makes you feel good about yourself when you're around her. More of that please! So uplifting to spend an evening with these inspiring ladies and their guests!

More images can be viewed on my website gallery here. Enjoy!

Pink Zebra SF on the Bold Italic

Jesse is opening his own restaurant! Pink Zebra SF.

The Bold Italic did a piece on him here and used my picture of him at his day off ritual playing pinball at Free Gold Watch.

Florida

Had a really wonderful visit to Florida to reconnect with friends & family. Our days were filled with visitors from near & far, many pots of coffee, picking veggies from the garden, hunting for chanterelles, card games, boiled peanuts, watermelon, seeing how each other's kids had grown, hanging out at the pool, family dinners, thunderstorms and lots of good cheer.

Alabama

Spent a little time in Mobile & Birmingham last month showing my portfolio. I fell in love with Alabama and it's genuine southern hospitality. I met quite a few welcoming folks who were kind enough to pause for quick portrait.

Also got to experience Alabama's white sauce for the first time. I'm always curious about regional BBQ and Saw's did not disappoint. I went twice!

Wedding Celebration on Instant Film

One thing I'll say for my family is they do know how to throw a party, a wedding in this case. Complete with a penis themed bachelorette get-together, of course.

Been trying to shoot more analog and have been enjoying Fuji's instant film lately. I splurged on the Instax Mini Neo Classic. The prints are the size of a credit card!

Good Friends

An afternoon spent in Gilroy with my good friends Linda, Ryan & little Zia now that they live a bit closer to me.

There's going to be a new addition to the family soon, too!

TBD pop-up at Mission Chinese

Hung out with the (former) crew from TBD Restaurant who did a pop-up at Mission Chinese Food last month. Alex made the best chirashi bowl EVER, honestly I'm still dreaming about it. Inside Scoop also did a post on the night here. Fun times!
