Today I met a very short man wearing a hat.

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 […]
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 […]
It is All How One Looks at it
For some reason I find it interesting when people take photographs or make videos of their travels rather than experience then, but that is kind of hypocritical. That is exactly what I am doing. Of course, I am lucky enough to get paid to do it. But, why do people find the photos they take […]
The News Never Stops
Part of the new exhibits at San Francisco Museum of Modern Art incorporates an old teletype machine, constantly printing out the news feed. These things used to be all over the newsrooms where I worked, but I have not seen one is such a long time. I think it was a very cleaver was to […]
Did You Know There is a Rope Skipping World Championship?

Just Another Sunny Day
My friend Mark introduced me to the most amazing photography gallery, I never knew existed, Pier 24. According to the person who works at the desk it is the largest gallery solely devoted to photography in the world. I really like how they limit the number of people who can be at the gallery at any […]
All That is Solid Melts Into Air
What do you do when you have non-functioning urinals and an event scheduled? Put flowers in them and call it art. I think this was a brilliant solution of an interesting problem.
The Secret of Comedy
It is really hard to be funny with photographs. A few people can do it quite well, my friend Kurt Hegre is quite good at it, so you should stop reading this and go look at his site right now, I can wait…… I am hoping Kurt is able to visit me this month so […]
Sand painting animation
Every now and then I come across something I have never seen before when photographing an event. I really like when people are able to take an regular event and add something that makes it memorable. I was doing photographs for a client at a celebration for a non-profit that runs hospitals and schools in […]
