I'm so glad you found me! I'm a San Francisco photographer, and this blog charts my journey in the ever-evolving world of photography. One of the things I love about photography is that it's a journey, not a destination. I'm constantly learning and meeting wonderful people. Please peruse the blog to your heart's content, then check out my website and feel free to contact me! (I love hearing from you.)

“Which of my photographs is my favorite? The one I’m going to take tomorrow." – Imogen Cunningham

A Noshfest, and a question - can a turtle and two goats be said to pig out?









Frozen landscape


I know it's summer, but in San Francisco you'd be hard pressed to tell the past few days. It's been rainy, foggy, and grey since Sunday, and so this image doesn't feel quite as out of place as perhaps it should. I was playing around in my trial version of Lightroom 5, and I started doing a few black and white conversions of images I hadn't loved in color. This one suddenly turned into a keeper!

Recently I feel like I've found myself wanting everything in color. And for most of my work, I think that's appropriate. But from time to time, it's good to play with monochromatic compositions. I'll try to keep that in mind.

Martin and Bethany Sneak Peek - San Francisco City Hall Wedding Photography

Sometimes I think I have a syndrome that causes me to share random flower photos on the blog and then let the ones I'm most excited about sit on my hard drives collecting dust.

Not this time! Martin and Bethany had an intimate city hall wedding last week and it was just so much fun. I have to say, I tried to convince Evan when we got married to just skip the whole big party thing and elope at city hall.

Needless to say, I was not successful in my tactics, which really worked out for the best as we had an amazing wedding. But I still have a soft spot in my heart for a wedding of just four or five (or two!), and there is no lovelier spot to be married than the San Francisco City Hall.

Martin and Bethany, these are just the tip of the iceberg. So many more amazing photos await you. Until then, enjoy these.




Caturday! A brotherly hug

A day late! Not sure why this didn't post yesterday as I had scheduled it to, but there's really no time limit on cuteness, right?

That's what I thought.











Film Friday - Street Food



This is from the one roll of Fuji Neopan Acros 100 that I shot, and I think I love pretty much every image from this roll; there's just something about the way it captures light that is so much closer to how I see than, say, HP5 Plus, or even Tri-X.

I still have a lot of film in the freezer that I haven't shot yet, but I may buy a couple more rolls of this one. Just to play with.
