Dax on the Bike. Greenline Cycles is a great bike shop. One feels inspired just walking in…and its because the owner, Dax Downey, inspires.  

Started today’s shoot on a pink cruiser with our first stop under a freeway with this mural nearby…it’s been a great but interesting shoot so far.

A little tune I made this morning instead of doing what I should have been doing…household chores.

A couple headshots from a client shoot yesterday. Kerrie always makes it easy. These were natural light (with reflector). I’m finding myself tiring of the complications of high-production value shoots…lights, stands, clamps, sandbags etc. This quote from Annie Leibovitz’s book, ‘At Work’ highlights this issue.

“Arnold Newman said that photography is one percent talent and ninety-nine percent moving furniture. I think about that sometimes when we’re on location and we’ve moved the set-the stage, the lights, the backdrop, sandbags, fans. And moved them again. And again. I just have to close my eyes to everything that’s being done. The manual labor is daunting.”  -Annie Leibovitz

Seriously.

This is just awesome. I love the creative mind that takes an empty shipping container and turns it into a play and guest house.  So cool.  Great photos from Chris Cooper too.

Riding the Ferry from Marin to SF and back is such an elegant way to travel.
