  • Banh Mi editing…

    I just submitted the final edits for the Banh Mi Handbook, a lovely book project I photographed last September for the wonderful folks at 10 Speed Press. As Andrea Nguyen, the animated author and chef extraordinaire, said in this fun blog post about our photo shoot (which includes behind the scenes photos,) photographing a cook book…

  • Day 12 – Thistle Meats…

    A neighborhood butcher shop, serving ethically raised and locally sourced meats… Brought to our little town by these two rad Petaluman women…Is coming soon. (ps: They are going to have homemade biscuits too, which means I can hardly wait.)

  • Day 11 – I can see where this is going…

    Arann has always had an interest in family bands. Looks like he may at least get a back-up singer out of this one.

  • I am a film pusher…

    In case you don’t know by now… I love film. And I am determined to use my film cameras even more this year. So I decided I need to ‘Show & Tell’ a little more. Digital photography is an amazing tool. With the invention of the ultra fast… Incredibly versatile… And instantaneously gratifying digital cameras……

  • Day 9 – this is film…

    These were the last photos my beloved Rolleiflex took before it broke on Christmas morning. These photos remind me how much I love that camera.

  • Day 8 – Back to work…

    I realized on the first leg of my three+ hour commute to South San Francisco that today was my second to last photo shoot with the Studio Choo ladies. After two years working together, I am going to miss bundling up in extra layers, eating burritos with green salsa, trying to bounce light off the…

  • Day 7 – climbing to the moon…

    …wearing pj’s and a bike helmet.

  • Day 6 – anything but the drums…

    As a kid, when I told my parents I wanted to quit taking piano lessons, in a desperate attempt to keep me interested in music, they said, “We’ll buy you any instrument you want, what do you want to play?” I said, “Drums.” They said, “Anything but drums.” (And I distinctly remember my dad saying,…

  • Day 4 – This kid hates to go to sleep…

    As much as I hate broken cameras. In the last two days I have sent three cameras in for repair. But going to sleep and broken cameras are a part of our lives, so we better get used to them both.

  • Day 3 – bribery for a good cause (picking just one photo a day is going to be hard…)

    New Year’s Resolution #3: Hike up the hill behind our house once a day. Good thing I didn’t say we couldn’t bring cookies as motivation… Because hiking with a two-year-old kind of defeats the reason for the resolution. But five cookies, two tangerines, a handful of almonds and craisins later and… We finally made it…
