I was really surprised that my Throwaway series won third place in the 2020 International Photography Awards. I was never notified and rarely do I get this kind of love. Thank you, jurors.

I’m honored that my plastic Throwaways series was picked to be part of The Fence exhibit, a multi-city show that features 85 photographers. It’s the perfect pandemic art show, photos are printed big on weatherproof material and exhibited on fences in 11 cities year round in North America. It doesn’t come to the Bay Area but you can see it in Atlanta, Seattle, New Orleans, Sarasota and Fargo right now. Other cities include Brooklyn, Calgary, Denver, Durham and Houston. I hope I’ll be able to see it when it’s safe to travel again. For more information check out the Photoville FENCE website.
I’m honored to be included in food photography art show opening this Friday October 2nd 4-9pm at 816 Folsom St that includes 19 top San Francisco food photographers. Chef and owner Peter Hemsley found me and picked some new work and old favorites for this show. The gallery is open to 10 people at a time, all the work is for sale and you can get a meal safely on their redwood planked terrace open Tues – Sat 5-9pm. Come see the show and have an amazing meal while your at it. Check out all the artist’s work here.
In August I did photography for Monster Pho’s new website. Check it out .Their food is fresh, delicious and very popular Vietnamese Street food and that’s not all. Since the pandemic Owner Tee Tran has been making 300-1000 meals a week for World Central Kitchen as well as giving away free Vietnamese coffee to health care workers and encouraging customers to donate PPE equipment by giving them 50% off their bill.
Come support this amazing business and get a really delicious meal too.
Way back in February I did this Pride Shoot for Wayback Burgers. A lot has happened since then but we can still celebrate. Happy Pride! Stay safe.
Last August I got sent to a ranch! Aspen Meadows Pack Station at Pinecrest has about 100 horses and they will take you out horseback riding, fishing, or to your backpack camp in Emigrant Wilderness. The ranch is family run and most of the cowboys and cowgirls have worked there for years. They’re the nicest people you’d hope to meet and visiting them is like stepping back in time. They eat together, bunk together and there’s no internet! So much fun and such a beautiful place; definitely book an adventure with them this summer.
Chef Evan Gotanda of Salt House. I photographed him back in December for California Bountiful Magazine. He shared his recipes for homemade pasta and sauces. Delicious comfort food, perfect for the times.
