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!

Giuseppe Quintarelli Wine Dinner

Jesse and Reilly made a homage dinner to the new vintage of Giuseppe Quintarelli wine. I captured some moments as everything was coming together.

Wine + Food = Happy Place

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!

Thank you Jesse for capturing back of the house moments!

Angelyne on Film

Mara Hruby at The Great American Music Hall

Mara Hruby, a delightful young lady with an exceptional voice and amazing presence. Not to mention killer vintage style! She was gracious enough to give me some time before her performance at the Great American Music Hall; we shot these backstage right before her set. You can see her perform her latest single 'Cry Me A River' on Billboard here and see their interview with her here.

Coombsville for Wine Enthusiast

I photographed four fantastic winemakers in Coombsville, Nappa's newest appellation. I love people who are willing to get up and do a sunrise shoot! These guys and gals are up at the crack of dawn and it didn't even phase them. 

You can read Wine Enthusiast's article here. And watch a fun video that the winemakers made about Coombsville here.

A Girl and a Camera

Portrait time! I spent a lovely afternoon photographing A Girl and a Camera's Jennifer Michelson recently. If you need a wedding photographer, she's your girl!

Wacky Jacky for Where Magazine

Captain Jacky Douglas is the skipper and owner of the fishing boat Wacky Jacky. It was inspiring to spend a day with the high spirited captain and her devoted crew on assignment for Where Magazine 

We circled the Farallon Islands in search of salmon for the better part of the day. The ocean was very calm and hardly windy; so quiet that sometimes that we could hear the whales blowing before we saw their spray. There was a camaraderie that we felt at the end of the day, the kind where you spend the day with strangers and it's fun. Not everyone on the boat actually caught a fish, but everyone somehow went home with one. Including me!

Justice

Been organizing files lately. Oh joy. 

But fun to revisit some shoots I did a while back, like this one of Justice.

Belcampo

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.
