My good friend, the lovely Julia, 15 days ago, just 10 days before the arrival of her firstborn son. Congratulations, Julia and Charles!
Over the past few months, some of my friends and new acquaintances asked me for shooting and DSLR tips so I organized the first DSLR ShootFest for us to get together and practice. It was a gorgeous day as you can see in this photo. Some of my other pictures from the day were shown on SFist. Check out the DSLR ShootFest Flickr pool. The next outing will be sometime in April on Treasure Island.

Models: Sharon Gallagher and Julia Fennell
Yes, Lois Greenfield is definitely one of my primary photographic inspirations, yet, she was not my first.
That honor goes to Philippe Halsman, legendary portrait photographer for Life magazine, and the author of The Jump Book.
The photograph above is my ode to his classic image of Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin.
