Ho Chi Minh City

We arrived yesterday in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. For having traveled over 17 hours leanne and Miles and I all felt surprisingly good. HCMC is insanely packed with motorbikes, if Vietnam didn’t already feel like an adventure, crossing the steer would for sure....

Carter’s 1st Birthday

A few years ago I though babies were pretty funny looking. I guess that’s changed because I had a blast last weekend at my friend Brook’s birthday party for her 1 year old son Carter. Brook and David moved to Salt Lake City last year, and they’re...

Las Vegas

My best friend Mike and I went to Las Vegas for a long weekend earlier this month. It was a great trip, the weather was gorgeous, we saw LOVE by Cirque du Soleil and Penn and Teller, and ate fabulous food all weekend. We stayed at the Bellagio, which was super fancy,...

Photos from Free Mind Media’s Benefit Show

The Bunker, Goodriddler, Santiago, and DJ Broken Record played a benefit show for Free Mind Media on Saturday. The event was at Monroe Hall, this crazy old hall on West College avenue filled with tons of Americana and taxidermied animals.

Christmas Eve Day at the California Academy of Sciences

Yesterday, on Christmas Eve I went down to San Francisco to visit the new California Academy of Sciences. The museum was amazing, it has a huge aquarium–where I spent most of my time–a planetarium, a rainforst biodome, and a living green roof. I brought my friend...

Fall is Here at the Crux House in Santa Rosa

This weekend I tested out my new (to me) Canon 5D at a benefit for the Santa Rosa Free Clinic. My friends Fall is Here were great, and I’m really happy with the way some of the photos turned out. The basement at the Crux House is lit by 2 bare bulbs, which makes...

Behind the Scenes at Alcatraz

A few months ago David and I went to Alcatraz. He had been before, but I, the native Californian had not and I was definitely looking forward to the trip! I was even more excited about it when my ever-present insatiable curiosity paid off in the form of a behind the...

Krystal + Miguel’s Wedding

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of taking photos at my friend Miles’ sister’s wedding at San Francisco City Hall. It was a gorgeous day, almost in the 90’s(!) and City Hall was beautiful. The shoot was super fun, Krystal and Miguel were great to...

Paracas and the Ballestas Islands, Peru

I never got around to posting my pictures from the tail leg of my Peru trip. These are all from Paracas and the nearby Ballestas Islands, which have been called the ‘poor man’s Galapagos’ because the islands feature over 160 species of birds...

family, wine, cats, and egg hatching

My sister Elizabeth and her boyfriend Anthony came down to SR for a wedding this weekend. We went wine tasting in the Dry Creek valley area on Sunday. The leaves were turning a beautiful shade of red. But the best part by far was our visit to one of my favorite...

Pumpkin Patch

This weekend my friend Rigel and I went out to Spring Hill Farms’ Peter Pumpkin Patch in Petaluma (say that 5 times fast!) with Rigel’s 1 year old daughter Akasha. Akasha loved the pumpkins and Rigel and I loved the homemade Pumpkin ice cream. We took the...

Photos From the Section M Reunion Show

This weekend was filled with friends old and new. I had a great time on Saturday night at the Section M reunion show at Daredevils & Queens, I took a lot of pictures, and made progress on my self-assigned task of getting less shy about taking pictures of people I...

why youtube is so awesome

This has to be the best mashup of internet memery and political humor ever. John McCain really should have known better to stand in front of a green screen by now, right? This too, is amazing. An LA improv troup brings “One Day More” from Les Miserable to...

Free Mind Media Art+Music benefit show

The benefit show for Free Mind Media was fantastic and I had a great time hanging out with so many awesome people. There were about a million bands and artists and we raised over 2 months of expenses for Free Mind in one night. I was honestly overwhelmed at the...

Benefit Show for Free Mind Media

I just finished the design on the poster for the September 6th Polar Bears/Santiago show at Daredevils and Queens in Santa Rosa. I’m showing some art at the event too. Pretty exciting!

nazca, peru

After leaving Arequipa 3 days ago, Elly and I booked a 2 day trek through the Colca Canyon. The bus ride was pretty brtual, 1am departure for a 5 hour trip on dirt roads. By the time we got to the town of Cabanacondor, the altitude was getting to me and I was...

In Arequipa, Peru

After a late night series of red eye flights with a stop over in El Salvador I made it to the Lima airport to be greeted by my friend Eleanor, complete with a handmade sign bearing my name. Our day in Lima yesterday was fairly uneventful and didn´t really include...

Bodie, CA

While down in Bishop for my sisters wedding, I had the opportunity to check out a real California history landmark: the ghost town of Bodie, CA. Bodie had been a booming gold mining town in its day before being nearly leveled by a series of fires and ultimately...

My Big Sister’s Wedding

My oldest sister got married down near Bishop 2 weeks ago. It was a great wedding and also served as a family reunion for both sides of the wedding party. I took a million photos, all of which are up on flickr.

One of my friends recently posted a thoughtful commentary on the responses to the popular website stuffwhitepeoplelike.com which lists such popular white people interests as: San Francisco » Dinner Parties » Having Gay Friends » The Wire » Hating Corporations »...
