For the next several months 10 bicycle themed photographs photos of mine will be showing at San Francisco’s Mojo Bicycle Cafe on Divisadero St. The photos document time spent in Seattle, NYC, San Francisco, and most recently, a bike trip in Utah. Please stop by, even if only for a bit.
Thanks

Anna McCarthy
I recently shot a series of portraits of Anna McCarthy, a San Francisco based journalist. Focusing on words that define her occupation, I put the question to her and using the words she used to describe her occupation I created a collage on her skin.
Here are other pics from the shoot.
Throughout mid-January and February I had the pleasure of shooting a feature story for the San Francisco Weekly on truancy in San Francisco Schools. Written by Lauren Smiley, the story delves into the increasing truancy statistics, the attitude of the kids and what the city and school district is doing to combat the issue. Read more here.
It appeared that the entire population of Valencia Street had packed into a sold-out Great American show Friday night to see San Francisco’s own Thao with the Get Down Stay Down. The group’s front woman, Thao Nguyen, pulled off equal parts cute and baddass as she tromped across the stage in her cowboy boots, headbanging her shaggy haircut like she’s possessed, while ripping it up on her enormous guitar. Thao’s on-stage charisma is contagious, and her wild, energetic style feels very San Francisco. Read more here.
For the past six months or so I’ve had the pleasure of being the photographer for The Phoenix Supper Club, a San Francisco based roving dinner club. This month in the South Bay’s Gentry Magazine, one of my photos was used in the telling of Phoenix’s executive chef Tommy Halvorson story. Read more here.
