Metric

Metric at the Great American Music Hall. Need I say more? My x100 was actually taken from me during the show. They said it was “too professional looking.” So I whipped out the XPRO-1 to take some shots of Emily and crew, and somehow I got away with that. Hmph! Metric rocks! ______________ All Images: […]

Jenny At Cafe Du Nord

The incredibly talented Jenny Lewis played this weekend with the Watson Twins, Johnathan Rice, Farmer Dave, and Nik Freitas at the Swedish American Hall in Cafe du Nord here in San Francisco. It was Jenny at her best, and this show was probably one of my favorites ever, right up there with the concert she […]

The Google Indie Artist Meetup

A few images from the recent San Francisco indie artist meetup at Brick and Mortar Music Hall. I’m proud to say that among those who performed that night were my wife Bridget and my cousin Jasmine. Great job you two! Photographically speaking, there was no light in this venue. ISO kabillion in there. Most of these […]

Two Feet From Jenny

Nikon D700 + Nikkor AFS 50mm f1.4G : 1/250 sec, f/2.2, ISO 3200 We always make sure to get a front row spot when we check out Jenny Lewis in concert (see past posts about Jenny here), but this recent show in the SF Bay Area the absolute closest I’ve ever been to her on stage. She could […]

The Jazz Jam

Nikon D700 + Nikkor 50mm f/1.4G | 1/500 sec, f/2.8, ISO 200 Bridget was recently a featured artist at a weekly Jazz Jam here in San Francisco! It was pretty exciting for her to be able to sing for about half an hour straight with a very talented band. Nikon D700 + Nikkor 50mm f/1.4G […]

Jazz at Douglas Beach House

This beautiful sunset was the backdrop for a lovely evening with the wife last night. We headed to Half Moon Bay in the late afternoon, and enjoyed the sunset from an old beach house that happened to be a wonderful venue for live music. One thing I noticed, sitting up there in the balcony at […]
