tyler + tom : post wedding

| Jan 29, 2010

tyler and tom were married last april on a cold day in san francisco.  since the weather did not permit for some fun photos, they decided to do a retake.  i was just in love with the idea and was so excited we were able to get some beautiful images… it’s not that hard when tyler is so gorgeous.  

check back monday for a very fun surprise session.  happy weekend and enjoy!

street photography

| Jan 18, 2010

when i am talking with a bride and groom i try to get to know them the best i can.  i want to know who they are and what they love, so that i can better capture them!  i want to know about their families, so that it helps me tell their story.   but sometimes there is an art and a talent of being able to capture emotion and a person when you dont know them at all.  this is why i adore street photography.   i love to look at how photographers view strangers, a street, city, or town and capture it in a way that the rest of the world can see their point of view.  it is art and i love it.   looking at old street photography from the 60s and 70s is a big source of inspiration to me.    

i have a bit of my own street photography.  this first post is all from this last fall in San Francisco.   my favorite street photography camera is my medium format hasselblad 500 c/m.   i love what it produces and i love walking around a street, taking my time, getting my exposer right on and really composing each shot.  it is so peaceful for me.  being able to step away from the busy weddings and having some days in my schedule to get out the old manual camera and slow down and photograph strangers – is like having a massage.  it unwinds me and makes me look at the simple pure moments in people.  
(check back more tomorrow to see street photography in mexico)
