Screen grabs from the online version of Viv Magazine. I did the editorial shoot for them a couple months ago at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco and the San Carlos Airport. At the airport I was offered to hold up all take offs and landing traffic if we wanted to shoot on the runway. Being someone who hates flying, I didn’t want to potentially hold anyone up from a safe landing, so I opted to shoot somewhere other than the runway.
Bigger: A little
Better: That’s subjective (but I think so)
Faster: Maybe
More: Yep
The new website is up and running.

I’m in the process of a good sized website update. It’ll be a mix of newer work and work I’ve done over the last year that I’ve been a bit too lazy… I mean, far too busy… to get prepped for the website. I’m also in the process of doing a minor website re-design. I posted a while back that I wanted to completely redesign my website… but that hasn’t happened yet due to indecisiveness on how I want the new site to look. After all, it’s not like I want to redesign my site every few months, so I better be happy with it. So, for the short term I’m upgrading my Livebooks site in order to add larger images and along with that I’ll make some minor changes to the look.
I realized today there is a point where you may just drive your assistant crazy. Here is the moment I drove friend and assistant Emily Merrill to the breaking point on an editorial shoot.

And, here is Emily doing her best ”I’m a model and I can contort my body into weird positions for no apparent reason whatsoever” pose.

If you feel bad for Emily, having to put up with me, and happen to need (or know someone who needs) a wedding photographer you should check out her great new wedding website here: http://www.emmyjeannephotography.com/

We finally got a good dumping of snow here in California, so I headed up to Tahoe for the weekend. These are some shots taken with a cool little point and shoot, the Panasonic DMC-LX3 (100% identical to the Leica D-LUX 4, so don’t waist your money on the little red dot)
