I’ve learned a few things about blogging in the past year. 1) Don’t ever write posts about how you’ll “finally start blogging again.” 2) Film shooting and my style of blogging does not mix. Don’t get me wrong, I love film and I will continue shooting with it, but film rolls take weeks to finish [...]
I’ve finally developed more film!! I’ve been procrastinating on the developing front (as it’s so expensive) – the only reason I have these photos are because Aaron stole the rolls from my purse and had them developed for me. I cannot complain. Stories below. This is a double view of the lovely weather we’ve been [...]
A few more shots from the Yashica Mat…
Last weekend was primarily centered around family-related stuff. For one, Aaron’s family was in town for the weekend, and in addition to that, I was planning to meet my sister on Friday night, for the first time ever. (Background story on that here.) We made plans to meet at Minibar, in my neighborhood. I headed [...]
Some highlights from the remainder of Erin & JT’s epic visit to San Francisco. Burrito breaks with Aaron while the visitors slept. Climbing to the tip-top of San Francisco. (ok, we took a car for most of the way, but still.) Riding the F car through downtown – and scoring the back seat. Full of [...]
I absolutely love having visitors in San Francisco. This is for several reasons: 1) I left a lot of my best friends and family and otherwise wonderful people I’ve met when I up and moved across the country last year. Getting the chance to see them in person is really exciting. 2) It’s easy to [...]
I shoot film now! I’ve been wanting to do this for a while. I’ve become somewhat bored with digital, or bored with something… I’m not exactly sure what. Regardless, I felt the urge to try something different in photoland. So, for my birthday, Aaron bought me a Minolta x-370 while we were at the flea [...]
I’ve been going to Portland a lot lately. And by a lot, I mean two times. I’ve had the opportunity to meet a ton of amazing people (I already knew Portland served as home to many amazing folk, but damn, you guys just keep coming). This includes Yogi and Party Boy. Yogi and Party Boy [...]
I hadn’t planned on attending Wondercon. I wasn’t even entirely sure what it was. Then, a few weeks ago, I received a note from my friend Paul telling me he was coming to SF for said festival and had a free pass for me, if I wanted it. Of course I want it. I’m not [...]
So… I realized I forgot to post any photos from February. Oops. Here are a few that are fun. MOMA. Jaguar Love. Mark Growden. Meghan & Shalaco. Laura. Ernie. Valentine’s at Dolores Park. Brandom & Lewis’ roof. That’s all for now. Hooray for catching up!
I think the phrase “magnetic zero” is absolutely genius, particularly as a band name. Not self-deprecating as much as just… owning your shit. After spending a few years strongly involved with the music industry, either through touring, or promoting, or actually getting paid to work in it, the phrase really resonates with what I’ve observed, [...]
Formal shoots are an interesting situation for me. I don’t do them that often. It’s not like they’re that different from the other shooting I do… I shoot in the same style, my photos basically look the same as they always do. I guess it’s just the idea of HAVING to produce adequate photos. Because [...]
Bowerbirds visit! Hooray! Phil and Beth are homies from Raleigh, NC (the town from which I moved to come here). They were part of a wonderful friend group who made summer 2009 the best I’ve had yet. They play in a band called Bowerbirds, and they are good. Very, very good. They were to play [...]
This has been the most interesting of weeks. Some of you may know that one of my (many) life dreams is to tour the country teaching workshops about the new music industry and building your web presence to take best advantage of evolving technologies. Some of you may also know that I’m a pretty hardcore [...]
I have spent the last two weekends tagging along with some ridiculously cute and happy couples… makes me want to barf sunshine just thinking about it. I really couldn’t ask for better people to be honorary third wheel with. First round was with Kelly and Jim. I spent last Sunday with them shooting some engagement [...]
It finally happened. The event I’ve been working my tail off for, along with producer Will Chase, Porto Franco Records, among others. Mark Growden‘s CD Release was Friday. The sponsorships were secured, the programs were designed & printed, the last promotional waves were complete. I could relax… sort of. Relax enough to go receive my [...]
This is the last night I stay up til 4am working! The project I have been working on non-stop for weeks now, Mark Growden’s CD Release, is tonight. The theatre is almost sold out already, the CDs are packaged, the programs are designed and printed… everything is falling into place. It’s a great feeling. Everyone [...]
So if you’re wondering what’s keeping me so busy these days… My most important project as of late is working as a project manager for Mark Growden‘s upcoming CD release show at the Cowell Theatre. I’ve put together a program that finds event contributors, then connects them to the SF arts community, using Mark’s show [...]
Literally. This blog comes about two weeks late, but it’s still neat, so I feel like I should post it. This was a homework assignment. I was to experiment with white balance, and create a project that reflected what I had discovered. Kind of a broad assignment. I figured that since we obviously weren’t going [...]
So this week’s project was to take 25 photos of complete strangers. Since I did something similar for last week’s “A Day in the Life” project, I wanted to make this set particularly unique. What better way than to do my assignment at the Folsom Street Fair. I’m particularly proud of this set. I’m not [...]
I finally went to the SFMOMA (San Francisco Museum of Modern Art) this week. I have been ecstatic that I live in a city that hosts such epic collections, but, even better – as an Academy of Art student, I get FREE admission. I also have homework assignments that require me going there. Tough life, [...]
So yesterday marked the birthday of my friend and neighbor Mark Growden. Mark happens to share a backyard with me, making this easily the most convenient gathering I’ve attended thus far in San Francisco. The yard was abound with wonderful, interesting people. I spent the afternoon reveling in the general human awesomeness surrounding me, and [...]
MY CAMERA CHARGER IS BACK! I’ve had the following photos stuck on my camera for a week now, as I accidentally left my camera charger + extra battery at my old abode. I finally retrieved it, and my photos are finally free. I’ve actually spent the entire day either editing or taking photos, and I’ve [...]
So I’ve moved twice already here in San Fran… keeping up the typical transience of my life. My first SF abode was a sublet that I made quickly and frantically over craigslist from Phoenix, AZ. I would occupy the mystery room with mystery roommates from Aug. 15 until Sept. 6th, or earlier, depending on when [...]
