  • In my perfect world…

    …I would live on a street where all of my best friends lived in the houses around me… …and we would get to do all of this… … all of the time. But until my wish comes true… …I am so grateful for airplanes that bring me to my favorite people who live too far…

  • Green Gala Goddesses…

    The University of California Botanical Gardens at Berkeley had their Green Gala Fundraiser today. The highlight of the event was definitely the fashion show of sustainable and local designs held in their stunning Redwood Grove Amphitheater. The eco-chic designers used inspiration directly from the Garden’s uniquely biodiverse plant collection to create two original designs that feature…

    Congratulations, Shari and Evan. I look forward to hearing how the story continues. Click here to see more photographs of the wedding celebration. And click here to see the photos that I took of Shari that helped her meet her future husband, Evan.

  • What Happens Next…

    One… Photo… Isn’t… Enough… Because I always want to know what happens next. The same is true in life. I always want to know what is going to happen next. And what happens after photographing a ballerina on a roof top overlooking San Francisco? Hopefully more photo shoots with ballerinas on roof tops overlooking San…

  • The Final Push…

    My food photography has come a long way over the past six months. But my Town Hall cook book days are numbered. It is time to turn in what we have and let the editors work their magic. Thank you Bridget, Mitch, Mary and Michael. We make a good team. I will miss our long…

  • We Have Come A Long Way…

    …since Martin Luther King, Jr.’s speech on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in 1963. But until Theresa and Alia can legally get married then we still have a long way to go. So this is what I would like to add to the dream speech… I have a dream that little children will one…

  • Somedays it is hard to believe that things will ever be different, but someday we will need to remember…

    Remember how Nathaniel always loved his rocking horse… Remember when you only had one… Remember when Alexander wouldn’t smile for the camera… Remember when life felt absolutely crazy… Remember when your arms were sore from always holding someone… And your bellies were sore from always laughing… Remember the kisses that squished your cheeks and left…

  • This is film (and my summer)…

    I love film and I love summer. And I couldn’t live without either one. Well, maybe I could. But life would be a lot less interesting and a lot less fun. The only problem is that they are both so very time-consuming. This summer was so busy that it seemed not to exist at all.…
