It was the most gorgeous day of the year in San Francisco, the perfect day for a street festival in the Mission (the Rock Make Street Festival, to be specific). Great music, crafts and (of course) beer flowed freely throughout the afternoon, but I have to say that the highlight of the day was seeing A B & The Sea in broad, shimmering sunlight. It was a great set, and the photos have a unique flavor to them, of summer and freedom and joy. There is nothing quite like being able to capture this type of magic with my camera. Enjoy!
I would say to file this one under “once in a lifetime,” except I am fortunate enough that this might not be the case: last Friday, July 23rd, I had the opportunity to spend much of my day and evening with Scissors For Lefty, who were performing an intimate outdoor show at a most gorgeous venue—Wente Vineyards in Livermore. I was the lens that captured it all, be it the initial set up, sound check, baking in the sun, dirty jokes, copious consumption of wine, multiple pre-show wardrobe changes, and a show that ventured into “off the hook” territory and beyond.
Thanks to everyone who made Friday night possible. It was something I’ll never forget!
I took so many photos that I’m going to have to break the recap into several post. This is the first, and the photos are in approximate chronological order. Enjoy!

I had the pleasure of shooting one of my favorite bay area bands, Stripmall Architecture, at Milk bar on Haight Street last Saturday night, and it was an evening filled with beautiful music, awesome visuals, equally awesome people, and–best of all (to the photographer)–amazing, phenomenal lighting! I’d never shot at Milk before, but I am really excited to shoot there again. I know the great lighting had mostly to do with Stripmall Architecture’s great sound guy, but man, the layout at Milk has something to do with it as well (really, I think it does!).
Enjoy these photos from Stripmall Architecture’s show at Milk on Saturday night. I’ll be writing a review about the show that will publish tomorrow, and I’ll add a link to that review here when it goes live.

I went to Harlot, a bar/small music venue in San Francisco, last Thursday to shoot a friend of a friend’s group, Dancefloor Executives. I went into it not knowing what to expect—especially since it was one of two shows I was shooting that night—but I was seriously blown away by this music! Andy (my friend), who you can see in the last of these “sneak peek” photos, even had to tell me to “stop raving!” at one point. I guess you can never really take all the rave out of the girl, after all.
Enjoy this preview of my photo set from Harlot!
