June 2009 Photograph of the Month: The Bay Bridge

A stunning photograph of the Bay Bridge in San Francisco at sunset on a clear day

This month’s photograph is titled “The Bay Bridge at Sunset”

I shot this on one of the clear sky days we get in September. Normally the environment in SF is gray and dreary which doesn’t produce dramatic sunsets. I shot this from the road above the Treasure Island Tunnel. I wanted to get to a more advantageous position but it was both restricted and dangerous to negotiate in the dark, so I opted for this stunning view.

I hope you enjoy this month’s photograph.

ASID Awards

Great News.

Two of my clients won ASID awards for the projects I photographed. I’ll get more details and post a galery of the winning shots next week, but for now good nes needs to be shared.

Overbooked

I’m once again off to the central valley for a job. On my return I will finally have time to breathe (after two and a half months). With so much going on lately catching up on my blog posting is going to be a pretty big job in and of itself.

Check back late next week to see what’s going on in the world of HDRI and photographic technique. I’ve been making some advances and am looking forward to sharing them.

Dreams Happen

This past weekend I was pleased to volunteer my time and skills to Rebuilding Together Peninsula to photograph their Semi-Annual Dreams Happen Charity Auction.

You can see the photographs I took at the event by follow this link to my gallery.

This is a really big deal.. every other year General Contractors and Architects in the area donate their time, skills and the materials to build these fantastic playhouses. These are not just regular playhouses, these things are the stuff dreams are made of. The lucky children that get one of these playhouses is sure to be the envy of the entire neighborhood. You can see a gallery of the playhouses by following this link.

This project was a lot of fun and we helped a lot of our less fortunate neighbors by raising significant funds to repair their homes. I’m not sure what the talley was but no matter what we helped the people in our communities who needed help the most.

And yet another busy week goes by

It has been a very busy week.

• I’ve been voluteering with the SF/SPCA – still working on the Feral Cat Volunteers project.
• Preparing to shoot the Dreams Happen Auction and event for Rebuilding Together Peninsula
• And now I’m off to Fresno to photograph a brand new courthouse

This while still giving my clients the best customer service they have ever seen and doing the best I can to be a good husband.

Life used to be easier when all I had to do was shoot pictures and develop film, but this still beats watching T.V.
