Bethany + Dan = Engaged!

Bethany, Dan, and I went on a little adventure this past weekend. We cruised over to Cesar Chavez Park in Berkeley, and then progressed to the Berkeley Marina, had lunch at Bake Sale Betty’s, and finished off taking some final shots behind Pizzaiolo and Dona Tomas. These two were awesome troopers. They were undeterred by walking through rain saturated ground, they sailed through the air with the greatest of ease when I asked them to jump, and even climbed a big wooden wall with waves crashing behind them. They rocked it hard. Here are some pictures. Enjoy!

Amri Studio – Community Hospital of Monterey – Donor Wall Installation

Last week my craft took me to the Community Hospital of Monterey where Amri Studio was installing an amazing donor recognition wall. The lights had been tested, the cabinet maker had done his work, crates had been made, and countless hours of collaborative efforts were all culminating with this install. Art, poetry, engineering, craftsmanship, and countless other creative forces had come together to make this all possible. Tim, the engineer installed his custom LED arrays and Christina made sure everything ran smoothly. The rockin’ installers, Joe and Charley, made installing these large pieces of carefully sand blasted and gold leafed crystal glass panels look easy. Here are some images. Enjoy!

Discarded to Divine 2010

It is that time of the year again. Time for creative and wonderful clothing and costume designers to rack their brains to create amazing wearables for the Saint Vincent de Paul Society of San Francisco to do their uber-cool fundraiser extravaganza… Discarded to Divine. I have been doing photography for Saint Vincent for the last couple of years. I was called to duty once again this year… and I was quite pleased to take part in the fun. Here are some images from our shoot on Sunday. Keep your eye out for them in ads and billboards in coming weeks.

Enjoy!

Thank you so much, I love what you have done with my two piece outfit, and the other pictures as well. I love that you added the pit bull into the scene, ironacally I too have a pitbull, If you ever need an extra one please let me know, she is lovely….February 9, 2010 – 9:14 am

julia - Wow! the swirly feminine chiffon-y pieces alongside the classic pitbull really holds the eye. A great piece of work, both the fashion AND the photography. Makes me want to wear fishnets and drink champagne…:)February 14, 2010 – 10:02 am

Amri Studio – In Detail – Part One

As a collaborative effort with Christina Amri and her awesome staff of creative and technical minds, I am going to be photographing in details and broad brush strokes the artistic journey that morphs ideas into tangible art installations. Amri Studio, of Sebastopol designs, fabricates, and installs truly exquisite pieces of art. The scope of work that Christina and her staff takes on is so impressive. Can you tell I’m a fan? Here are some images – enjoy!
