These photos are from a current project I am working on. This part of the project involves a herd of goats that are taken to various places around San Francisco (in this case the Presidio) to clear the undergrowth. They are eat quickly and are very environmentally friendly. If you want to know more about […]
I had a photo shoot yesterday in an office building in San Francisco. Once everything was set up it was time to wait for the subject to show up. I looked out the window an d noticed the empty rooftop parking garage below. The lines reminded me of the #hashtag symbol (well sort of, I […]
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 […]
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 […]

I have tried writing this introduction sentence about ten times, but it ends up sounding too much like a line from a comedy act “Ever notice how….” or a self-help book “We would all be better off if …” I think this is better, you get to see how I fashion this stream of conscious […]
One of my favorite photography terms is Circles of Confusion the Wikipedia page I linked to will describe the various formulas used to calculate how the effect is created in photography, way better than I can. When my daughter was in 8th grade or so, she had a physics assignment and chose a pinhole camera […]
I was driving home from a non-photo related meeting and almost crashed into the car in front of me when I saw a zebra crossing guard like the ones they have in La Paz Bolivia, which I first heard about from the Last Week Tonight with John Oliver. I had to quickly find a place […]
