Hard Work and Laughter

More video work has been coming my way and I love it. Martha and Monica, a cello/piano duo hired me to do a trailer about them and the two new works they commissioned from Omid Zoufonoun and Matt Ingalls.

They will premiere Omid Zoufonoun’s Sonata for Cello and Piano on Sunday, September 30, 2012,
5 pm at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, Recital Hall.

Then, on March 24, 2013 at 4pm they premiere Matt Ingalls’ New Work for Cello and Piano at Old First Concerts in San Francisco.

Reminding myself of my self

I used to take pictures like this all the time, especially when I was a new photographer. I was on a job for eBay and saw this out the window. I barely thought about it when I clicked the shutter.

Ear Therapy – The Nels Cline Singers at The Independent, February 4, 2011

Yuka C. Honda, Trevor Dunn, Scott Amendola, and Nels Cline

The Friendly Warm Glow of Vacuum Tubes

Trevor Dunn is in the band now and I have to say, he is an amazing fit.

The Signal Chain

Ava Mendoza and Nels had a hilarious but friendly arguement about John McLaughlin...

Nels in the repartee...

Fantastic Fog

When I moved to San Francisco in 1995 my sensibilities about light changed. I saw the value in very diffused light. I think that is how I drifted away from using flash – I did come full circle as you can see in this post – A Reunion.

I spent some time with my family on Ocean Beach for the Martin Luther King Holiday. The fog was exquisite that day.
