Esther Dyson, Chairman of Edventure Holdings and tech luminary, paid a visit to the Digital Vision Program on her way to the Churchill Club. The Thursday seminars (which are usually open to the public) are really quite amazing when you look at the people who have come, such as Larry…

It’s hard to believe that this is the start of the third year for Camera Owners of the Bay Area! I had the idea for the user group back in December 2001, when I was talking with David and Richard H. at Keeble and Shuchat in Palo Alto. A month…

Eric, Rae, and I got up way early on Saturday morning (6:30 am) to photograph the mating and birth of elephant seals in San Simeon. The epicenter of the earthquake that hit California a week or so ago was not too far away from our location. Hearst Castle loomed in…

The former Palm WISE group got together at Vive Sol restaurant in Mountain View for its annual White Elephant Gift Exchange party.

Bulletproof. Only hours after we screened War Photographer at the final COBA meeting of 2003, I learned that James Nachtwey — the subject of the documentary — was injured by a grenade attack in Baghdad. A former editor of his from the 80’s mentioned in the film that older combat…

Best Buy would be one of the last places I could think of as a venue for Vienna Teng to perform. There she was last week, however, performing in front of fans and Christmas shoppers at the Best Buy in Santana Row in San Jose. Some of the usual fans…
