In a continuing effort to demonstrate that the iPhone has a wonderful camera, I recently used it to create some very specialized portraits. These portraits were taken at the Native American Pow Wow in Marysville Ca. on Feb 17th. Yes, these were all shot on the iPhone. And yes they were edited later. Lighting was LED lights, powered by a battery pack. It’s a great experience to work with wonderful people who allow me to capture emotional images. Because for […]
Older shot. But santa and I just want to wish YOU, a Merry Christmas!
Not really Greece. But it certainly looks like the old country. This is the Holly Cross Greek Orthodox church in Belmont. The interior is an amazing display of hand crafted tiles, created in Greece, the brought back to Belmont and hand install into beautiful, continuous murals. Entrance to the church is not typically open to the public. But if you have a friend and they can take you, it’s like taking a trip across the ocean and back in time. […]
A beautiful foggy morning at Michael’s. Making a quick iphone shot quick and easy. The other shot is downtown Mountain View. It was so surprising to see the streets empty in the middle of the weekday. Usually these street are fill with tables and chairs from the restaurant, along with plenty of people taking their lunch break.

I was in discussion with a friend who has a yoga studio. She is struggling these days, as I am sure you can imagine. While explaining to me how she felt the great need for people to do yoga for both mind and body fitness, especially right now, I tried to imagine a way to get this point across. So I came up with this image. I will offer it free to anyone who wants to help promote their yoga […]
I have been working on a series for a few years, where I juxtapose the human figure against architectural shapes and forms. Last week we were in the studio experimenting with a new camera system. Unfortunately the system did not work the way it was supposed to. But we ended up capturing some wonderful shots. FYI – that’s a model, not me. For those people who may be getting confused…..
