About

I am horrible at writing these things...

I consider myself a specialist of the glorified snapshot. Nowhere near talented enough to be featured in the spotlight, or get more than a note or two, but eager enough to get around my unnaturally high level of shyness to share my snapshots with the world.

All photos on this blog are taken by me, using a variety of photographic tools, from high priced DSLR to Pin Hole cameras made from beer cans.

I have recently relocated to the Santa Cruz area, only deepening my insatiable love for the San Francisco area as I'm able to explore many new areas. When not shooting with a still camera, I can be found toting around a TV camera.

Some of my favourite photographers:
Robert Capa
Robert Doisneau
Henri Cartier-Bresson
Berenice Abbott

I wanted to share the video project I completed in my editing class. It’s inspired by a quote from Herb Caen “One day if I do go to heaven… I’ll look around and say ‘It ain’t bad, but it ain’t San Francisco’”, and the movie Wings of Desire by Wim Wenders where an angel falls in love and decides to live on Earth (hopefully you don’t know it better as City of Angels… cheap Hollywood ripoff…”) My boy played the angel and running around the city in his swim trunks nearly got me arrested on some kind of kiddie porn charge… yeah it was a long shoot…

I’ve spent almost all my free time lately shooting surfers for my final project in my video editing class… Just two more days of cutting and it should be all done…
