Braggadocio

Sarabeth is still traveling in the land the internet forgot, so you’re all stuck with me for another week or so. I’m not planning to watch much of either convention, but I do have some thoughts about Obama/Biden together and individually.
Until then, I need to brag a little. I try to respect the […]

Row-Day-Oh

I haven’t pimped out my photos in a while, so I’m going to take advantage of Sarabeth’s vacation to do just that.
From a couple of rodeos (Grand National and Oakdale) I shot last month:

Last week I shot the Vans Tahoe Cup snowboard competition. Here are a few highlights:

In case anyone else is interested in the emerging field of flickr-carbon dating, I’ll save you the trouble.

Santarchy!

The 2007 Santarchy was in San Francisco and Oakland on Saturday. With visits to several bars, an “adult superstore,” and a ferry ride, things got out of hand quickly.

Lights Out

The D3 FX format CMOS imaging sensor was designed from the ground up to offer exceptional light transmission properties, so photographers can acquire outstanding image quality even in low light conditions. With a high signal to noise ratio, a pixel pitch 15% larger than competitive cameras, gapless surface micro-lenses and advanced on-chip noise reduction means […]

Clockwise

I shot the 2007 San Jose Grand Prix for SFist. I’m not much of a car guy (I don’t even have a driver’s license), but there’s something about being three feet away from Champ Cars doing 200 mph.

On Sunday morning, the only clean shirts I had left were my France and Netherlands […]

I’m heading out to Chicago to catch up with some friends and see the first night of the Pitchfork Music Festival with Sonic Youth performing “Daydream Nation” and the GZA performing “Liquid Swords.” Short of cancellation, there’s no way this isn’t going to rule.
I’ll leave you with the following links to some […]

Huge in the Netherlands

by matt

The Discovery Channel bought my Tour of California photo of Discovery rider Tom Danielson for use in their Tourspel online game. From what I understand, it’s like fantasy football, but for the Tour de France. The photo will run on the Discovery Channel homepage, game page, banner ads, and newspaper ads in Europe.

Public Hanging

The above photos are in a show opening today at the Mills Building, 220 Montgomery St in San Francisco’s Financial District. The show runs through the summer, so if you’re in SF, stop by and check out the show. Hopefully the traders and wheeler-dealers will appreciate the work.
I want to both thank and […]

Vacation in Detroit? Yes please.
I’m not up to the task of describing the insane music on display at the Movement Festival last weekend, so hopefully these photos and this slideshow will do. (Turn it up.)

Update: Kelly was able to effectively describe the weekend. And she was faded all weekend. Go read.
