  • 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…

  • Happy Hula Hooping Birthday

    These are just some of my favorite photos from Suzi’s Birthday Party at Oak Hill Farm last weekend. Funny how I have reoccurring themes in my life… right now they seem to be grasslands, bathtubs, and Oak Hill Farm. And hopefully from now on, hula hoops will be a on the list. They make for…

  • Just a typical Thursday with good friends…

    Meet Rebecca and Kevin. They are my friends, in fact, they were the first two friends I made when I moved to California in 2001. One reason I like them is because when I say, “Let’s do a photo shoot,” they say, “OK, we’ll wear these hats.” And then we went to the thrift store….…

  • Cabaret in Color… good idea for parties

    … I loved my Cabaret on the Bay Portrait Station and it has me thinking about offering Portrait Stations as part of my photo business. It would be so great to have this at weddings and other events, so the guests who want photos of themselves at the event will be sure to have them,…

  • Cabaret on The Bay 2008 – sneak peek in black and white

    When I moved to California in 2001, I learned about the concept of ‘community’ with these people. That concept has shaped my life ever since, so it is only fitting that I now apply my theme of documenting communities to my own community. So, welcome to my community. My community of characters, who I met…
