Meet Dr. Nammy Patel, San Francisco’s premier (and maybe only) green dentist! She’s incredibly kind and fun in person, and wow, isn’t she gorgeous? What’s more, she’s passionate about sustainability,

May.08, 2008

Cosmo is a one of those dear friends that has flowed in and out of my life, and is the kind of person you can pick back up with after a year and it feels like no time has passed.

John Levy Book Cover Project
May.02, 2008

My friend Coleen Elgin Drew contacted me about a book project she’s working on with author John Levy. After a long drive up a very windy and beautiful road into Marin, I met up with Coleen and John.

Some Favorites from Earth Day EcoTuesday
Apr.24, 2008

I always love going to EcoTuesday, networking with people who are passionate about sustainability is inspiring.

Oren Jaffe and Nikki Martinez, your lovely hosts:

Everyone gets a few sentences to introduce themselves and talk about what they’re passionate about, but Oren really holds them to about two sentences. Any more and he’s on to the next person.

On My Way to Beantown
Apr.03, 2008

I traveled to Boston today for an event I’m photographing this weekend, and I had the best flight imaginable. I normally get pretty antsy after the first few hours and can’t wait to get off the plane. Invariably I check my watch twenty times only to see that 5 minutes have past. This flight was […]

Casey and Krista
Mar.29, 2008

I’m so excited, I’ve been so busy lately! Four photo sessions for three different clients in two days…which seems a bit crazy, and now I need a bath and a beer. I photographed Casey yesterday, who asked for some portraits he could use on his professional website. In trade he’s building me a desk for […]
