  • Worth the Wait….

    Just wanted to add the Rollei photos from my baby shoot last week…. film is expensive, the camera is slow, the negatives have to be processed, scanned, de-dusted…. meaning the whole process is much more expensive and labor intensive…. but I love it!

  • Oak Hill Portraits

    These portraits are for Jonah Raskin’s book about his experiences on Sonoma County farms over the past year. He spent most of his time at Oak Hill Farm and wanted some portraits of the people behind the fresh organic food that he fell in love with. I arrived at the farm at 7 am with…

  • 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,…

  • Ecological Arts – Simple is Better

    Recently I received a phone call from a young woman who asked if I could photograph her textiles. My immediate response was, “Well, you may want a studio photographer.

And even though I wasn’t exactly sure what Femme Fatale meant, I said, “Yes please, count me in.” After a couple of hours googling the meaning, I found everything from Greek literature to photos of Pamela Anderson in a bikini. So…

  • Just Like Them, That’s All…

  • 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…

  • 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…
