East Bay Express Cover shot 12/16

Mid December i had the privilege of shooting the cover of the East Bay Express (along with several of the feature story photos) located in the Bay Area’s Oakland. The story compared and contrasted the waves of coffee movements since the 1950’s and spotlighted several East Bay coffee shops, Berkeley’s Local 123 and Oakland’s SubRosa.

Here’s the story on the East Bay Express site.

I’ve included the rest of the photos from the photo shoot below.
