Women of the 40s – with their picture-perfect luscious curls, blood red lips, porcelain complexion – always represented to me the dawning of the strong, independent female. Despite their stark silhouettes, these women embodied the feminine, bringing the sexy to boxy, shoulder-padded jackets and knee-length skirts. They also inspired iconic starlets, such as Bettie Page or Dita Von Teese.
Inspired by high-society women during World War II, I recently completed a passion project with a talented Bay Area crew who volunteered services on hair, make-up, wardrobe, styling and art direction. Thanks to the collective effort, we recreated a series of images reminiscent of the 40s. I promise to post the images soon and I’m excited for you to tell me what you think!

Me with Epson's Andreas Goehring.
At the PDN PhotoPlus Conference and Expo 2010, I dropped by Epson’s booth to check out my new-favorite Exhibition Canvas Satin, on which they featured some of my wedding-photography images (look in the upper, right-hand corner of this picture to view the goods!).
It’s been under wraps long enough. Epson will soon release its Exhibition Canvas Satin, one of its specialty, signature-worthy papers the company is promoting in conjunction with some of its favorite photographers. I am completely blown away and humbled to be included in this elite group. I’m going to keep you guessing for now, but they include some very, very awesome (and famous!) people.
So, what does it all mean? Aside from decorating my studio with images printed on the new canvas, my wedding art is also the focus of a short Epson promo, which was filmed right here in my San Francisco studio. Look out for more details about the film in another blog post!

All smiles with Terry from Chimera, which is based in Colorado. Terry and I both love mountains and beautifully shaped light.
One of the best things about photography conferences, such as the PDN PhotoPlus 2010, is the chance to reconnect with my lovely sponsors. Please enjoy some snapshots with the people who make it happen!
Speaking of beautifully shaped light... If you

Hanging out with Joel Meisels from Adorama. They hooked me up big time with top of the line equipment for my Novogratz shoot.
A little interview for Chimera which will hopefully be on its site soon.
I have had a trusty Gitzo tripod for as long as I can remember!
This year, Bay Photo made a major contribution to the photographic community by sponsoring my metal print display at Burning Man. Sarah Bergeron was one of the awesome people that made it happen!
Having fun with Wacom boys Dan & Weston at the after-bash. I ditched my flumsy mouse in 2007, and never looked back... ever. In fact, even the idea of retouching with a standard mouse makes me cringe a bit. Sounds dramatic, but its true.
