This is just some random photo that was on my desktop. It is really late, I have been taking photos since 9 a.m. and I am getting rather slap happy. Probably best to stop typing.

I have a cat, a few cameras and my kids are about to graduate from high school.
Time to grow up, Thor.
I Met a Very Short Man Wearing a Hat
Today I met a very short man wearing a hat.
Flower Power
Good think I really do not have a strong sense of smell because the other day I went to the San Francisco Conservatory of Flowers to see what is often nicknamed the “Corpse Flower.” It is actually Amorphophallus titanum, also known as the titan arum , many people say the flower stinks of rotting fish when it […]
Never a Dull Moment
I was photographing a few very specific moments at the opening ceremonies of the Rugby World Cup Sevens for a regular client of mine who was the major sponsor of the event. As normally happens there is a bit of time between each thing I need to photograph, so I try to look for something […]
Looking with Intention
The other day someone who was taking basic photography classes asked me how I knew when a photograph was “done” or “good”. Obviously these are subjective answers, a photograph is done when it is done, it is good if it is good. My answer, paraphrasing myself here: A photograph is done and/or good when I […]
The Science of Photographing Scientists
I recently finished up a project for the UCSF schools of Chemistry and Chemical Biology and Biophysics PhD programs. I have a vague understanding of the work they are doing, just enough to have a rudimentary conversation about the research. Lucky for me, that is enough to get them excited and talking about their research […]
Simply Amazing
In the middle of Segovia, Spain is this aqueduct. It is seven stories tall, was made in the 1st Century of the Common Era, and somehow has survived remarkably intact. I am still in awe of the city of Segovia just looking at the photos. This set does not even include the castle (which was […]
Goat Yoga!
Yes, that is a baby goat on top of a woman trying to do yoga. I am not really sure how much actual yoga happens at these sessions sponsored by City Grazing but the goats seem to enjoy walking over the people, eating their hair, clothing and whatever else they can get their teeth around. […]
Above it All
Sometimes the photos I get to take can surprise me. I had shoot at one of the top, and unfinished floors of the Salesforce Tower in San Francisco. It will be the tallest building in San Francisco and only topped by a new tower in Los Angeles, and can be seen from all over the […]
Just Another Day on Haight Street
This dog sure caught my attention, his owner (or guardian if you prefer) put the doll hands on his collar. You, know, because he could, I suppose. A lot of people were interested in the baby doll collar, I told the guy he had a potential business plan and should go on Shark Tank or […]
