While I was in San Francisco earlier this fall for my workshop, I decided to arrive a day early just to photograph this pavilion on Google’s Mountain View campus. Anything sculptural tends to grab my attention, and when I saw one of past workshop attendees post a photo of this, I knew I had to […]

San Francisco 2025 Workshop Recap

MIRA, studio gang

Finally catching up on the last of the 2025 workshop photos! Everyone told me October is the best weather for SF…I’m a little confused because it is, by far, the worst weather I’ve experienced in any of my visits…gloomy and rainy the whole time. Might have to go back to August as my workshop month. […]

Student Images – 2025 San Francisco Workshop

The final workshop of 2025 is in the books! Just realizing we started and ended the year in California. That’s a fun coincidence. This workshop was a bit unusual in that every participant, except one, was from the San Francisco area. The one outlier was from Chicago. Typically, the group is from all over the […]

San Francisco 2023 Workshop Recap

It’s taken me forever to find the time to edit the SF workshop images but here they are! As always, I had a fantastic group (you can see some of their shots here). And it was fun to explore this city for the 2nd year in a row with a few slight adjustments to the […]

Student Images – 2023 San Francisco Workshop

Time for the fun of taking a look at what some of the SF workshop attendees made during our 3 days exploring the city! Julie Miller Love Julie’s bold, minimal takes on the Golden Gate Bridge, James Turrell’s “Three Gems”, and the Transamerica Pyramid. Be sure to checkout more of her work on her website […]

I’m excited to share my recent win in the Loop Design Awards with my series on The Cathedral of Saint Mary of the Assumption. An incredible mid-century modern design by Pietro Belluschi in San Francisco. These images were made on my first trip to San Francisco in many many years and this was my first […]

San Francisco Workshop Recap 2022

The inaugural San Francisco workshop! We spent 3 days checking out the city’s best architecture from the museums, highrises, and, of course, the iconic Golden Gate Bridge. Lucky me, I had another fantastic group! About half have been on a workshop with me before and the other half were first-timers. A few locals and the […]

San Francisco Revisit

I’ve finally caught up on all the editing for my personal work after many months of technical issues so I’m going to group 2 visits to San Francisco in this post. Brace yourself for another long one! Some of the locations were for additional scouting for August’s workshop and some were a bit more out […]

Golden Gate Bridge

The final San Francisco post of this trip, of course, the Golden Gate Bridge. No trip would be complete without this. At least when you haven’t visited the city in 15+ years. The first shots were made from Battery Spencer on my way out of town for Point Reyes, so midday and not the best […]

Cathedral of Saint Mary of the Assumption, San Francisco

Cathedral of Saint Mary of the Assumption

Yet another favorite San Francisco stop, The Cathedral of Saint Mary of the Assumption designed by local architects John Michael Lee, Paul A. Ryan, and Angus McSweeney along with internationally known architects Pier Luigi Nervi and Pietro Belluschi. I’ve seen many photos of the interior, particularly the ceiling, which is understandable and we’ll get to those soon. However, […]
