Read the Story

Had a fantastic time photographing the owners of the new popuphood shops in Oldtown Oakland – they were all really kind and their stores beautiful additions to the area (and it just so happens I moved in right across the street, so I’m pretty stoked I have such cool neighbors).

An assignment a few weeks ago brought me across Jason who cuts hair at The Executive Barber Shop down in the Excelsior district of San Francisco. Jason is the real deal.

3/29/11 WSJ: Hacker Dojo

Earlier this month I photographed Jay Liew, a software engineer, who recently quit his job at a software security company so he could pursue his own start-up interests. Not surprisingly, he decided to move from San Diego to the Silicon Valley and one of the main reasons he made the move was because of the Hacker Dojo. The Dojo is a large and inviting tech community space that prides itself on being more than desks for rent. It’s more akin to a familial style start up incubator and computer-engineer haven. The Dojo had a feeling somewhere between fun-house and science lab, which in my opinion, is perfect for nurturing an imaginative and productive work environment. For example, one member rigged a cowbell labeled button into the wall that, when pushed, actually rings a cowbell attached to the ceiling. 3-D printers sit in one corner, and in another, gadgets and tools and a robotic spider that is in the process of being put together. If you’re living near the Bay Area Peninsula and ever find yourself needing to take tech classes or use community office space, you should definitely stop in and check the place out.

My friend Brianna on our way to swim during a trip to Lake Tahoe with friends in August, 2007. I remember swimming in Lake Tahoe for the first time and being frightened because the water was so clear that you could see every rock and shadow. Ignorance is Bliss.
