  • Comfort food at Town Hall…

    In my interview for a book proposal with the guys responsible for Town Hall, a restaurant in San Francisco, one of them asked me, “So, are you a food photographer, is that what you do?’ I said, “No, I photograph people.” Maybe that isn’t the best response when you are interviewing to take photos for…

  • A day of edible beauty…

    Well, I wanted to boost my food photography portfolio… so I made it happen at Windrush Farm, with the help of the Gardening, Baking, Styling, and Photography Dream Team… Most of the veggies and flowers were grown and harvested by: Rebecca Bozzelli at the Sonoma Garden Park, Paul Wirtz at Oak Hill Farm and Mimi…

  • You Just Have to Wait…

    I had an amazing Sunday… it was full of yummy fresh homemade food that was grown, prepared, baked and styled by incredibly talented people. And I can’t wait to share my new collection of food photos… but you just have to wait… because this is slow food. I only have 300 more photos to sort…

  • Blue Eyes, Bottoms and Bubbles…

    After photographing Vienna, I understand the evolutionary purpose of big blue eyes… There is no way you could eat your baby when it looks this cute. I also understand why bubble baths and babies are not such a good mix. I imagined cute baby flapping arms and bubbles floating in the air: happy family, happy…

  • Food Glorious Food…

    Since my arrival in California in 2001… I have eaten countless amazing meals. The new culinary world I landed in opened doors for my tastebuds that I didn’t even know existed. So you would think, this being such an important new adventure for me that I would have better documentation of this new edible adventure.…

  • I was only supposed to take Senior Pictures…

    This is my neighbor, Gino. He is a third generation Petaluman… and third generation ranch kid. He got his first cow when he was 14. Now he has 4 cows. Gino will be graduating in a couple of months and his mom wanted some senior photos. But not the yearbook kind, she already had to…

  • Sisters…

  • Commuting…

    For the past month, I have been driving back and forth, and back and forth, from the country to the city for this office project I am working on. And because I often work with MALT (the Marin Agricultural Land Trust,) and they love to have photos of green hills for their annual reports… I…

  • Love is in the Air at The Phoenix…

    The Phoenix held their long awaited Guitar Gala last night. The primary focus of the night was the auction of approximately 20 guitars (donated by the Gibson Foundation), each designed and customized by local and nationally recognized visual artists. 100% of the proceeds from the Guitar Gala will be dedicated to supporting the free-of-charge after-school…

  • City Hall…

    I am currently working on a fun project with a group of researchers, and we are exploring different businesses in the Bay Area, in order to learn what would bring businesses back to the city instead of sprawling out in the suburbs. So… so far I have mostly photographed interviews, which means I have lots…
