Over the years I’ve been fortunate enough to work with folks who have not only helped me enjoy the work I do, but in many cases have become my good friends. Here is a list of some of them.

California Bluegrass Association Once while photographing a festival, I heard someone running up behind me yelling ‘hey photo dude’. That was Darby Brandli, the president of CBA. Now they’re all like family. Staff photographer.

Berkeley Old Time Music Convention I love shooting events like this. So much great music and just as many great new people to meet. Suzy Thompson does a wonderful job putting it all together. I”m happy to do this gig for just as long as they’ll have me. Staff photographer.

Arhoolie Records Chris Strachwitz has been at this for 50 years now. Take a look at his site and see. If you find yourself in El Cerrito Ca, drop by Down Home Music for a real treat. Promotional photography and soon a book together.

Hardly Strictly Bluegrass I’ve worked at this festival both as a staff photographer and for individual artists. If you haven’t heard of Warren Hellman, he’s a banjo player who had the idea of putting together this little festival in Golden Gate Park and making it a free event for everyone. What a wonderful guy and what a great opportunity for a music photographer.

The International Body Music Festival Kieth Terry and Evie Ladin find artists doing the most amazing things involving music. That’s without instruments! I’ve been their shooter since the first year and I really look forward to it every fall. Staff photographer.

San Francisco Bluegrass and Old Time Festival Here’s another yearly festival that I can’t get enough of. Nine days of fantastic music, shooting photos, racing around from SF to the East Bay and web gallery building every night. I think I slept about 10 hours in that whole time, but I’m ready to go again next February. Staff photographer.

The Greenbelt Alliance I’ve been photographing the annual Bluegrass for the Greenbelt event ever since the first one. A worthy cause and very nice folks. Event, web, promotional photography.

The Freight and Salvage Coffee House If you’re in Berkeley, or anywhere in the bay area for that matter, this is the place. Where would we be without the Freight. Promotional photography for web/print.
