Pic of the Day

This weekend I will be venturing up to Pollock Pines again, riding Amtrak, so I thought it seemed appropriate to post a photo taken from the window of Amtrak last time I traveled...Also, my friend Kevin is traveling on Amtrak from city to city to figure out what his next move is....pretty awesome adventure, and one that makes me consider the possibilities...

Pic of the Day

This photo was taken with my pinhole camera; no secret. I was carrying around my P-Sharan, and this man yelled out, "WHATS THAT...A BOOMBOX?" haha. Then I told him that it was a camera, and he seemed interested...I asked him if I could take his photo, while he told me about loving the Grateful Dead and being a DeadHead back in the day. After I was done, he asked to see the picture; pretty savvy homeless man, being familiar with digital photography.

Pic of the Day

On Friday I photographed at War @ the Wharf here in San Francisco. I have never photographed at a boxing match before, but it didn't take me long to adapt to the environment. It was far and away the best event I have ever photographed, and I hope there is many more to come. I love the fast-pacedness of it all, the excitement, and the challenge of capturing the passion that these fighters have for what they do. I was inspired, to say the least. Being so close, you can feel that this sport is more than just punching people; its an art, a community, and a following.

Pic of the Day

ok listen, this Pic of the Day thing, is not necessarily everyday. because sometimes i get busy, and sometimes i dont come to my studio. and sometimes my hands turn into icicles here and i can't manage the required mouse clicks and button pushes.

You got lucky today...

Lady, Dia de los Muertos Festival, San Francisco

Dia de los Muertos is my favorite event in San Francisco. Despite people dressed in "scary" costumes, and face-painted like skeletons, it is a day to celebrate people who have lived. It always takes place at night, and can be perceived as creepy, but its really beautiful when everything is lit by candlelight.
