Aztec Dancers in San Francisco’s Mission District
This past Saturday, I shot the opening celebrations for the Mission Economic Development Agency’s new offices.
Most of the shots were politicians, community activists and bankers giving speeches. But, then after all of the blah blah blah was over, the Aztec Dancers came on!

Elk River Mayor calls for
1,000 Acts of Random Kindness
via Acts of Kindness | www.loveelkriver.org.
The mayor of Elk River, Minnesota, challenged its residents to perform 1,000 acts of kindness. They responded.
At Christmas time, Klinzing saw a YouTube video about a restaurant in Philadelphia where people kept paying for other diners’ meals. “I got the sense that if we did a similar thing through the entire city, something would change. It would be kind of a climate change. That basically is what happened.”
… even doing little things, like putting a nice note on a student’s locker, can have an effect. “People pay it forward. It makes your day and you are happy because you have such a positive effect on someone. And once you’ve done that, you want to do it more.”
The acts of kindness are posted online. The mayor has challenged other cities to match this accomplishment.
This shot was taken on the cliffs of Jenner California, a coastal town north of San Francisco. We were on a cliff above the ocean, the sun was setting, they had just gotten married. What else could you ask for? I love being a wedding photographer.

And just to round things off, here a few other photos from that set.
