  • The Bluebellies at The Mystic

    Just a moment to brag about my man’s band, The Bluebellies, because they happily climbed onto the big stage at our hometown venue, The Mystic, on Saturday night. It wasn’t their first time under the bright Mystic spotlights, but it still is a big deal, so I wanted to document the occasion well for them.…

  • Another Comparison…

    I apologize for being repetitive… but now that I have said sorry… here I go again… these are the Rollei’s version of the same weekend adventures… and my conclusion on the battle between film and digital… I like both. I think both have the potential (depending on the human making the decisions) to take really…

  • You can’t always get what you want

    but if you try sometimes, you just might find, you get what you need. That’s the way the Rollei goes… you win some, you lose some, or at least you get something entirely different. This may not be the photo my mom was hoping for when she stood beside this ginormous geranium bush in SF’s…

  • Weekend at the Beach

    My assignment this weekend… photograph a few of the beaches in Sonoma County… the problem: the wind chill factor felt like it was about 10º and blowing at about 50 mph… so not the most conducive for enticing people to visit… especially when the article is coming out in the summer and photos show people…

  • Easter Sunday in the Hunting Room

    Another year, another Easter, another Sunday in Todd’s Hunting Room.

  • Deborah turns 90

    To celebrate Deborah’s 90th Birthday… 99% of her family members turned up for her party in Oakland, some traveling as far as NY. I arrived at the end of their festivities to take portraits and it was fun to see everyone so happy and throughly enjoying each other. But one of my highlights was from…

  • Featuring Bulky Knits

    These are some of the fun shots from our Wool Farm Fashion – Shoot #2 (to see session #1 click here.)This time we were doing product shots, which isn’t as fun for me as working with farmers/models, but it is still pretty fun. It is much harder than you would think to make everything look…

  • Taking the Rollei to Press

    I received my first assignment (post-grad-school) for the Petaluma Magazine this month and I decided to bring the Rollei along. The pay isn’t great but it is enough to cover expenses of film and processing, and since this isn’t a full time gig, or even one I could think about supporting myself on, I decided…

  • The Snatch and the Clean and Jerk

    I went to my first weight lifting competition this weekend at the 2008 PWA Championships, to photograph for my friend Chad, who also happens to be the base player in The Bluebellies. I didn’t really think much about what it would be like before I arrived, but just maybe I imagined overly beefy guys with…
