  • My Inspiration….

    I love this video. It makes me smile, cry, laugh and love people. If only all documentary projects had such power… and yet it is so so so simple. I would love to follow Matt Harding around with a camera on his next journey. It is amazing. Please watch, you will like it, I promise.

  • Here’s to Men Who Cook… (because I don’t!)

    My two favorite chefs in the world… The World Famous Photographer, Art Rogers, and the Almost World Famous Musician and Entertainer, Arann Harris of The Bluebellies. The specialty of the night… Barbecued Pizza and more red wine than necessary…. the key to every woman’s heart.

  • What 4th of July Means to Me…

    This is what celebrating Independence should be… well, really it is all for my dear friend Michelle’s Annual Wine Country Birthday Bash… but it just so happens it is the same weekend as the 4th. If ever there was someone who should have been born on the holiday known for barbecuing… it is Michelle. Happy…

  • Expect the Unexpected….

    This is an example of the kind of unexpectedness to expect from the Rollei, which I talked about in the last entry. Not sure what happened, but there is not much photoshop can do for this… so hopefully you like large alien blobs across the only three photos I took on my Rollei of this…

    First of all, I need to define Documentary Photographer, so this is wikipedia’s definition: The photographer attempts to produce truthful, objective, and usually candid photography of a particular subject, most often pictures of people. That definition basically says enough about why I like photographing weddings and the way I approach photographing them, but I am…

  • Two Midwesterners and Their New California Boy….

    It’s baby time! Seems like everyone we know is multiplying… which is fun for me. Meet Michael, the son of two amazingly talented and loving people. When he gets a little bigger he will no doubt: play music, grow vegetables, go to Antarctica, love hiking, and have cute dimples just like his parents. But for…

  • Expecting….

    I wasn’t able to make it to my friend Tauni’s baby shower a couple of months ago, but earlier she had mentioned she wanted some pregnancy photos, so as a present, I promised we would make it happen. And tonight, three weeks away from her due date, we had our pregnancy photo session with her…

  • We are submitting this week…

    Jude and I met yesterday and picked our top 15 photos to submit to the stock agency in order to hopefully get accepted and hopefully start getting paid for all the fun photo shoots we have been having. Here are 5 of our favorites that have not been posted yet… to see some of the…

  • Summer in Rebecca’s Garden…

    My good friend Rebecca runs the Sonoma Garden Park garden and she has started her own business helping people plant and maintain organic fruit and veggies in their own gardens. Rebecca wanted some photos for her business and to help promote the garden and she thought I might get some good photos for my stock…
