Most of you know that I’ve spent the better part of a year splitting my time between Northern and Southern California. Well that’s all about to change. I’ll be back in Orange County full time by the end of the month and I’m looking forward to shooting a few projects, shooting with photographer-friends old and new and starting a personal project that I’m calling “Shooting for the Wall” in which my goal will be to make images to hang in my own home.

It just isn’t possible to leave the Bay Area without some tourist photos, all taken with the Canon G10 compact point and shoot camera.

Unless you consider the countless trips between SFO and SNA I’ve been making. More actual photo work coming up!

On Saturday the 12th I’ll be joining close to 40 other local photographers for the Help-Portrait shoot at the Orange County Rescue Mission.

The objective is simple: find people in need, take their portrait and deliver a print to them.

Photographers, hair and makeup stylists and others are donating their time, equipment and expertise to bring joy to residents of the Mission this holiday season.

I know its short notice, but if you can help, head over to www.help-portrait.com and sign up…
