B&M Tear Off Roofing

Last year I was working with Rebuilding Together Peninsula to document the rehabilitation of their new permanent facility at 841 Kanyne St. in Redwood City, CA and I had the opportunity to work with B&M Tear Off Roofing as they were installing the new hot tar roof. I worked with them for two days and found the B&M Crew to be one of the most conscientious and professional that I have ever had the opportunity to work with. And I did roofing in the early 1980’s.

The men at B&M were all polite and professional and they obviously took a lot of pride in their work. Every one of them wore their safety equipment and followed all the rules to the letter. I was very impressed with their attitude and how efficiently they got the job done.

Last week Daniel from B&M called me to ask about getting some of the photographs I took for B&Ms’ use. As is standard polcy on RTP projects all the contractors and volunteers have free access to the photographs I create all they need to do is call me.

It was a lot of fun documenting the tear-off and installation of Rebuilding Togethers’ new roof. You can view a gallery of the entire process by following this link to my portfolio galleries, but here are two of my favorite shots from the roof.

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.

Feral Cat Caregiver

Tomorrow morning I begin shooting the volunteer Feral Cat Caregivers with the SF/SPCA.This is the beginning of a long term project to document the Feral Cat program and the remarkably dedicated volunteers who make the program work.

I’m looking forward to it and the challenges that I will be faced with. I’ll post more about the program in another day or two.
