Thank you blue faced girl for not noticing I was taking your photo.

Pumpkin Therapy

 Pumpkin gathering on a rainy day in Half Moon Bay with K & J...

And ta-da!  J's Ziggy Stardust emerges from K's lightning cracked lantern! 

The Real Deal



My good friend Tim Stookey, Mixologist Extraordinaire, San Francisco, May 2009
Yes, that is his home bar.

Bourbon & Branch

Setting: The Tenderloin, San Francisco
"Excuse me, where can a thirsty bunch get a drink around here?"

Knock Knock KNOCK

The Negotiation


Absinthe, a Sazerac, and Rose's Manhattan, finally.

A fun night in San Francisco at Bourbon & Branch, a former (and one could say current) speakeasy housed under the imposing "The Anti-Saloon League" sign. Friend and genius mixologist Tim Stookey was our guide.

Doran, Part 2




Doran The Dandy, San Francisco, May 2009

These were taken around Doran's neighborhood, the Tenderloin, which is is not tender at all. In fact it is much more like a piece of gristle that got chewed up and spit out, or those chicken bones you find tossed out on the street. Doran floats thru it like a ghost, and no one knows what to make of him. Not the crackheads or tranny hookers or fresh off the boat immigrants. He says even hipsters don't know what to think.


Ah, dandies...I am starting to understand. They are like a rare species that has evolved far away from the rest of the world...each breed with it's own strange feathers and peculiar habits not found elsewhere on earth. My curiosity is overwhelming me these days. What differentiates a dandy from just an incredibly stylish man? Do they sleep? Where do they get their goat hoof walking canes and taxidermy? And where can I find more? Thoroughly fascinating.


Doran, Part 1



Doran The Dandy, San Francisco, May 2009

My friend Jake met Doran at a party and got his number so I could photograph him. He figured that since I photoed another great dandy, Lord Whimsy, that I definitely would want to make a portrait of Doran. Thank you, Jake!

It turns out that Doran and Lord Whimsy are friends...Dandyland is a small world. Who should be next?

More images from Doran's shoot coming...BTW that is his dog in the lower right that he had taxidermied.
