What's Happening

  1. #bringbacklivemusic - Regency Ballroom

    27 Dec 2020
    On Christmas Day I took a drive through San Francisco visiting all of the music venues that, until March 9, 2020, I’d be at every week. It has been nine months since I have been to a live show. As much as I miss live arts I also miss the…

  2. Pandemic Portrait Project

    02 Aug 2020
    Hey everyone! Happy Saturday. We’ve been stuck in pandemic mode since March. Some of you longer. In mid-February I was in London and things were starting to get weird. Lots of conversations in the pubs about what the COVID-19 was and what was going to happen. Seems like we’re having…

  3. Joshua Tree

    05 Jun 2020
    After months in hibernation waiting for whatever next crazy thing will strike 2020, I decided to skip town and social distance in south-eastern California. Road trips are my favorite way to get away. I take at least one two-week multi-state trip every fall. We’ll see what happens this year. But…

    31 Mar 2020
    Welcome to Spring in 2020. Not quite what anyone planned. I was in India in early February and landed in London around the 10th. Storm Ciara was kicking and making the weather very England-ish. Just then we started hearing serious things about this crazy virus moving its way out of…

  7. “New” gear can be fun

    24 Feb 2020
    There are times we get into a rut. It can happen in anything we do all the time. For me over the last year it has been photography. I did so many more shoots last year that I got to the point where I didn’t want to see my camera…

    19 Feb 2019
    I was at The Warfield in San Francisco on Sunday evening to shoot a stop on Ja Rule and Ashanti’s current tour. They both looked and sounded really good. It could almost have been a show from the early 2000’s. They performed together and individually mixing their hits together for…

    11 Feb 2019
    February is a fun month for shows. Saturday night I was at the Great American Music Hall for a Four Tet show. Was completely unique experience. The hall is a traditional (and very beautiful) early 20th century theater. The “stage” was a raised platform in the center of the floor…

  23. Halloween Weekend in San Francisco

    29 Oct 2018
    Halloween is San Francisco turned to 11. All of the fun people pop out and all of the oddballs rise up to meet them. It’s like a Tarantino adaptation of a Hunter S. Thompson story. I love it! I shot two shows this weekend. The first was Brian Fallon and…
