A few weeks ago I was contacted by the good folks at KBCW, the CW Network affiliate for the San Francisco Bay Area. They’ve been running a Bay Area Top Pet contest for the last few weeks and needed a photographer to get some good shots of the winners: Zach, a really cool border collie [...]

A few weeks back I held my second photo event at Under One Roof — this one was themed Christmas in July. We had a decent turnout with about half the participants opting to don a holiday costume. While I don’t play favorites I have to say the charmer for the day was an aptly [...]

For those of you who fell in love with the dog from As Good As It Gets have I got a post for you. I had the pleasure of meeting BeeGee last week. BeeGee is a Brussels Griffon just like Timer in the movie. Boy, what a cute little guy…and he just adores his dad.
Don’t [...]

For me the only thing more exciting than getting a new camera is getting a new lens. I’ve had my eye on the canon 16-35 2.8L for a while now and just took the plunge. I tested it out on my office manager and assistant, Bizzy, a couple of days ago and all I kept [...]

Last weekend a client gave me a wee bit of somewhat deserved grief for not featuring more Golden Retrievers like his beautiful dog, Maya, on my site. “Afterall,” he said, ” They’re only one of the top 5 most popular breeds in the country.” Odd, I thought, I know I’ve photographed more than my fair [...]

I had a great shoot with a nice little guy named Topper last weekend. Topper was recently adopted from San Francisco Animal Care & Control and he ended up in a great home with a dad who just adores him. One of his dad’s friends gave the session as a gift.
Topper is a chihuahua mix [...]

I’m a complete sucker for older dogs. They get so much nobler and mellower as they age and I love the way ones with darker fur mask as they gray. I met a nice old fellow named Diego last weekend on a shoot for veterinarian starting a house-call business here in San Francisco. Diego is [...]

Those of you who read this blog semi-regularly know that I volunteer for an organization here in San Francisco called Project Homeless Connect. Every 6 weeks or so PHC holds an event at a major venue in town where homeless service organizations and homeless clients meet. In a word, it’s amazing. You’ve really never seen [...]

My good friends at Dogster recently asked me to help fill in on their For the Love of Dog Blog while they search for a new full-time blogger.
My first post was yesterday. I went with a you-provide-the-caption approach for a funny shot I took a few weeks ago and the response has been pretty decent [...]
