This summer I had the pleasure of photographing Belcampo's family day at their ranch in Mount Shasta.
It was about 108 degrees or so and there was lots of fire and meat involved. Dedicated, detail oriented and hard working people producing a top notch product! It was an honor to be a part of their day. Thank you to Anya Fernald and her crew for making me feel like part of the family.
Really enjoyed spending time in Oakland to shoot this travel story for Bust Magazine. The East Bay has so much to offer; I'm always looking for an excuse to spend the day over there. And now, commuting on a new Bay Bridge!
It was cool to discover places new to me like the beatutiful Mountainview Cemetery and Gondola Servizio on Lake Merritt. And to visit some new favorites like Brown Sugar Kitchen and Mua. I have been a BIG FAN of BUST for years (big fan!) and I am pretty excited to share this.
I love exploring my hometown in different ways and on this assignment I found myself on land, sea, and air to photograph San Francisco's active and well loved waterfront for Where Magazine.
Spent the evening at A16 in Rockridge. I love getting assignments from Diablo magazine because it allows me to get out of the city and explore the other side of the bay. They have summer over there!
I photographed Belcampo's Anya Fernald for Diablo's Women to Watch feature. What a dynamic lady! You can read the article here and you can sample their delicious meat at their restaurant and butcher counter in Larkspur. Their specialty is beef, but I highly recommend the chicken livers!
I worked with writer Mindy Fox on this story about Farina's pesto. This is part one, in San Francisco. Mindy is full of energy and good ideas, and notices every detail. Gotta love that!
Port Costa is a sweet little town that feels like a nineteenth century movie set. I've found myself there to photograph several times recently. Here is the Bull Valley Roadhouse for Diablo Magazine.
Some of the images from my current promo: Record Shopping on Haight Street. We visited Rooky's Records and Groove Merchant both in Lower Haight.
I only own one record, (which I bought solely for the cover picture of Cindy Lauper a la Man Ray by Annie Leibovitz). But one thing I learned from hanging out in record stores all day long is that it will put you in a really good mood.
