Hello everyone,
I have been very busy since my last posting and wanted to take a break to share with you what I have been up to recently.    
In 2006, I had the pleasure of staging a keynote presentation to a group of IBM executives from New York and a few months later for the Cascadia Center for Urban Development.  It was a wonderful opportunity to present a photographic history of the city of San Francisco as seen through my lens.  San Francisco is a city with which I have a deep connection.  Following is a link to an article about the presentation:

More recently, I have been involved in local events in connection with the Barbary Coast Neighborhood Association.  One of the most interesting projects was the "Bridging Communities" event which created a human chain across the Golden Gate Bridge to support the Bay Area United Way.

And most recently, I helped organize a weekend getaway to Calistoga, CA which was sponsored by the American Society of Media Photographers (ASMP) and Bay Area Travel Writers (BATW).  As many of you know, I am a board member for the Northern California chapter of ASMP.  This trip was centered around the release of the new book Wine Across America - A Photographic Road Trip by Charles O'Rear and Daphne Larkin.  It was a wonderful event celebrating a beautiful new book.  For more information on the book you can visit:


Thanks for taking the interest in my work and look forward to future postings about a limited release of my book San Francisco: City by the Bay.
