I’m featured in a new full length documentary on the gift economy of Burning Man, “Gifting It.” I haven’t seen it yet, but it’s already getting rave reviews. It includes an interview with me at Burning Man and a bunch of my images. You can buy the DVD online or see the San Francisco premiere at Cellspace on Thursday July 11th at 9pm with filmmaker Renea Roberts.
People magazine hired me to do a shoot for them on Wednesday, but it will be a while before I get the negs back from them, so no gallery until then.
One new gallery, a cioppino dinner for the San Francisco Electrical Contractors Association. More next week.
Yes, it’s been a while - more than a month - but I have been busy. I had a couple of pictures in this month’s Japan Airlines inflight magazine, Winds. Not bad, considering it’s World Cup month, although next time I’ll ask for free tickets . . . I’ve also posted tearsheets of my pictures in Teen People, the San Francisco Chronicle, June’s Where Magazine, July’s San Francisco Bride magazine and the new CA-Image sourcebook.
In the process of moving to a new server at Laughing Squid, I temporarily broke my scripts, but you’ll (maybe) be glad to hear I got the postcards and guestbook working again.
The Hips saga continues; it’s now playing as a slideshow outside an elevator in a San Francisco financial district office building. If you’re in the neighborhood, go take a look at 300 California Street (@ Battery). It should be there until the end of July.
My exhibit at Friends Cafe (207 Valencia Street @ Duboce, San Francsico) has been extended yet another month, but I’m looking for a new venue. I’ve also got images posted on a music website, HBR1.com although it doesn’t work on my Mac.
I’ll post new galleries as soon as I catch up with stuff. I know how to take pictures, but running a business is an entirely different matter. Speaking of which, in a couple of weeks I’ll celebrate my first anniversary of supporting myself by photography alone. I don’t want to set a date for the party yet, because I’m waiting to hear about a *very* cool shoot.
My new intern arrived a couple of weeks ago from Baltimore and she’s been a great help so far. Unfortunately, she leaves in August and I need to find someone for mid-August onwards, preferably one who’s willing to come to Burning Man. Any takers?
