I was on assignment this evening for the Stanford Daily, charged with photographing Gene Washington, the current NFL Director of Football Operations. He was at Stanford to give a talk on making Black America better. The seminar was part of the annual Black Liberation Month. When Washington was an undergraduate…

The recent storm in the Bay Area has been pretty bad. No, it’s not as bad as the one I drove through with Vienna and Jim on tour in Tennessee last year, but it’s close. The image you see is an overturned pickup truck on Highway 101. What you don’t…

Following Vienna’s performance at Borders, I went to my monthly SNUG meeting. The usual crowd was there, including Kevin Smith, who was having some problems getting his Newton to connect to his Mac. We tried a number of techniques to no avail, including using a Keyspan USB-to-Serial adapter and Kevin’s…

Warm Strangers, the second album from singer-songwriter Vienna Teng was released today. Vienna performed in front of a huge crowd at the Borders Bookstore in Palo Alto. Two years ago, only a handful of people might have attended one of her in-store performances. Now, the line goes up and down…

Here are some photos that I took over the weekend. On Saturday, Rae and I went up to Vista Point along Highway 280. We’ve both driven by the exit (actually, there are two of them in between Edgewood and Highway 92), but we’ve never stopped to see what it’s all…

We had our first poker night at Carolyn and Ron’s place in Sunnyvale on Friday the 13th. It was a nightmare for me, as I lost my money around midnight. Siu had been eliminated earlier in the evening, so at least I had company. Bryan, Carolyn, Joon-Mo, and Randy duked…

We had a great turnout for our lighting workshop at the February COBA meeting. I started the meeting off with a quick roundup of products that are making their entrance at the PMA conference which is starting tomorrow in Las Vegas. On the DSLR front, there’s the Canon 1D Mark…
