I was going through my archives and cringing at how bad some of my photography was back in 2008. This is a photo shot in San Francisco with an editing style that more closely resembles my current work. This is shot from Chinatown looking out to the bay at the Ferry Building.

Got a new lens and needed to do some tests to make sure everything was working properly.

I woke up this morning and my body was even more sore than it was yesterday. That ring flash really gave me a proper workout. More to come from this shoot.

This is the first of the series of shots taken in the Outer Sunset District of San Francisco, one of the neighborhoods I used to spend a lot of time in when I was growing up. The architecture and vibe of the area brings back many fond memories for me and I was really glad to do a shoot in the neighborhood with a talented model like Cassie.
