Elementary school children MLK, Jr. Oratorical 2011, Oakland California

Every year to commemorate the life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. children participate in an Oratorical.

Montclair Elementary in Oakland California asked me to take portraits of the participants with their certificates.

The full gallery of all of the shots can be seen here:

Girls Inc asked me to shoot photos of their 2010 fund raising luncheon this year. I was happy to do so. I have a daughter, and I’m very supportive of the work that Girls Inc does.

The Luncheon was a smashing success. It was in the pavilion at Scott’s Restaurant in Jack London Square. (You can see the background looks like tent material, that’s the pavilion for you.)
