My friend Emily said this image is “very autobiographical.” I’m not exactly sure what she meant or how I feel about it.

No post for three months and then two days in a row. Don’t get used to it.
A while back I posted about my love for guitars. Since then I’ve added a couple guitars to my collection and believe me, it’s a challenge not to stop in and see what’s new every time I drive by Rocker’s Guitars. And since I can’t seem to play them very well, I decided to put them to use in other ways and started photographing them. I’m not really a still life or product photographer, so this was a new experience for me.

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.
