Student Images – 2022 San Francisco Workshop

What a great group I had for my first San Francisco workshop! We had some crazy wind while we visited the Golden Gate Bridge but, overall, fantastic weather for the many incredible sights we saw. Read on for a look at some of the students’ work. Dale Cruse A SF local, Dale is sharing some […]
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

I’ve seen many photos of the interior, particularly the ceiling, which is understandable and we’ll get to those soon. However, […]

Mira San Francisco

If you’ve been following me long enough you know I adore any design by Jeanne Gang (Studio Gang Architects). So, when I saw her newish building, Mira, being developed in San Francisco I knew I had to get there to shoot it! As luck would have it, I found myself in SF the last week […]
San Francisco Overview

I can’t even remember the last time I visited San Francisco, at least 15+ years! It’s been on my list for a number of reasons…it’s been too long, it’s such a unique city, and I’ve been meaning to scout it in hopes of doing a photo workshop there. With Covid the last couple of years, […]
