Not Going Anywhere

One of the best bits of advice I have read about keeping your sanity while sitting at home while under a Shelter-In-Place, or similar, order is to make a schedule for your day and finish all of the projects you never seem to have time to do. One of the projects I keep not getting […]

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 […]

Koshatnik, Russian for a Dealer in Stolen Cats

I picked up one of the random books I have around the apartment, opened it to a random page and found a listing of oddly specific job titles in foreign languages. The book “The Meaning of Tango, and Other Extraordinary Words from Around the World” by Adam Jacot de Boinod, is a listing of various […]

Door Knockers and Lion-headed Mail Drops

Here are some photos of things that I found interesting while in Spain. I wish the shop with the woman holding the spatula was open, I want to by a tortilla from her. Then I want to put all of my mail into a lion’s mouth. For skylights I am hoping to have these star […]

Goats in the City

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 […]

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 Secret to Photography

Someone asked me the other day how to become a professional photographer. After wanting to give my smart-ass answer of “take a series or photographs and get someone to pay you for them, viola, you are a professional.” I thought better of giving that answer and came up with the real answer, practice. My first […]

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 […]

Looking at Something from All Sides

No matter how many times I see this same view of Sutro Tower, I am amazed at how different it looks to me each time.
