Rebecca Van Dyck
Along with all the talk of Facebook’s pending IPO last week I had two of my own Facebook connections pop up. First, I was called to photograph Facebook’s CSO (Chief Security Officer) Joe Sullivan for an editorial cover shoot. And then, I read that Rebecca Van Dyck was just hired by Facebook to head up their marketing department. I photographed Rebecca a few month’s ago for AdWeek while she was still Levi’s Director of Marketing.
Smile
Today over on A Photo Editor there’s a link to a Rodney Smith blog post about smiling in photos. Rodney doesn’t think smiling photos have substance. I don’t know that I agree with that, but I know I tend to like non-smiling photos. I have a total of seven on my entire website and only one in my portfolio (although it depends on what qualifies as a smile… there are some very slight smiles that I didn’t count). I tend to take things a bit further though… It seems I don’t even like people looking at the camera.

Hunx & His Punks
I photographed Hunx & His Punks for Blackbook Magazine at the San Francisco Library. I had never heard of them but I’ve been seeing them mentioned in a magazines quite a bit lately. They were an interesting and fun crew to work with.
Andrew Bangs
I met Andrew Bangs working on a shoot for Blackbook Magazine covering Noise Pop. Andrew is a writer here in San Francisco and if you need to know where you should go in San Francisco Andrew is the man; He researches restaurants and bars for Blackbook’s City Guide. Sounds like a good gig to me.
