One of my pictures of The Golden Gate Bridge is a “finalist” for inclusion into Pingg’s San Francisco Designer Series. If my image wins the vote, I would get a Fujifilm FinePix F70EXR digital camera. Well, as we all know the best way to win any election is to buy your votes… so, if you head over to the Pingg voting page and vote for me and then retweet the following, I will give away the camera to one lucky person (if I win it that is):

There’s a lot of talk about email promo’s lately. Here, here, here, here and here. See what I mean. It seems the consensus is email promos aren’t very effective. I think that’s true to an extent. I’ve definitely seen the click through rate on my email promos drop from when i started doing them a few years ago.

Here are a few more Polaroids taken over the last few days.
I’ve been shooting these Polaroids lately anytime I’m shooting for myself. I’m not really sure where I’m going with them. They don’t really have a theme or pattern. I guess I’m just shooting Polaroid to shoot Polaroid while it’s still available because I like the look. I guess that’s good enough. My friend and assistant Emily say’s to “think of it as a journal..they are personal and it doesn’t need to be consistent. Photograph what you love when you shoot Polaroid and fuck worrying about the purpose.”

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.
