Oakland is jumping these days, and it never shines brighter than on the First Friday of every month when the galleries throw open their doors, and the streets of Uptown fill with celebration. I wanted to capture a piece of that.
I took my camera and my studio strobes, and I set them up in “The Eatup” (https://www.facebook.com/TheEatup at 2025 Telegraph Ave) I let anyone who wanted step on up and get their portrait taken. It was so fun I could hardly stand it.
These are the shots. I just want to say “Thanks Oakland for letting me take your picture. You are looking FANTASTIC!
