Intense and pretty Korean child in face paint at a party

This photo was taken at a child’s birthday party. There was a tea party (back when that meant a party where you drink tea and not a political movement) and a treasure hunt and face painting.

The girl in the photo is obviously of Asian descent. I think her heritage is Korean, but I am not sure.

For me the thing that sells this photo is her unblinking intensity. She’s a pretty little girl, and she is staring into your soul, perhaps finding it wanting.

Billie Jean King at the Esurance Tennis Classic Charity Gala at the Osher Jewish Community Center in San Rafael

I was the event photographer for the Esurance Tennis Classic Charity Gala at the Osher Jewish Community Center in San Rafael. They were raising money for To Celebrate Life Breast Cancer Foundation, Us Too Prostate Cancer Education and Support, and Youth Tennis Advantage. In attendance were some tennis celebrities, including Billie Jean King, Pat Cash, and Anna Kournikova.

Here are some of my favorite photos from the event.

1 year old girl dancing at a 60th birthday party in San Diego California

This past weekend, my I flew down to San Diego to shoot a 60th birthday party. With the trip south, I’m a bit behind on my blogging, but I wanted to get this photo up ASAP.

The subject of the photo is just over 1 year old. She was dancing to live music.

I’d also like to take a minute here to offer a shout out to a buddy of mine. Robert is a photographer and videographer whom I’ve known since I was still shooting film.

He is now running a website called Your Bridal Planner. It is a great place to go to learn how to hire a wedding photographer

Photos from EFF benefit Geek Reading: Cory Doctorow's 'For the Win'"

Yesterday, the EFF (Electronic Frontier Foundation) hosted a talk by science fiction author Cory Doctorow. He gave an inspiring talk about how over enforcement of copyright could kill the freedoms we have on the internet. That might be a slightly glib summary. It is late.

The full audio of the talk is here:

I was the photographer for the event.

I got a nice shout-out from Cory here:
