It was a lot of fun, and challenging from a photography perspective. Some of the performers I was able to photograph were: <a href="http://www.akononline.com/">Akon</a>, <a href="http://www.satriani.com/">Joe Satriani</a>, <a href="http://www.funtwo.us/">Funtwo</a>, <a href="http://www.esmeeworld.com/">Esemee Denters</a>, <a href="http://will-i-am.blackeyedpeas.com/">WILL.I.AM</a>, <a href="http://www.katyperry.com/">Katy Perry</a>, <a href="http://souljaboytellem.com/index.php">Soulja Boy</a>, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/lisalavie1">Lisa Lavie</a>, and a special appearance by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gavin_Newsom">Gavin Newsom</a> and his wife <a href="http://www.jennifersiebel.com/">Jennifer Siebel</a>.

I usually do this whenever I go to weddings, mostly for the benefit of the bride & groom so they can have some immediate gratification before getting their hands on the photos from the professionals. And, of course, I like to take photos. But this time around there were so many people with serious camera hardware at the wedding that I decided to relax and not go overboard. Nonetheless, I'm happy with how a few of them turned out.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/antman/2630676800/" title="Roger & Gem wedding by antman, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3149/2630676800_540e6b760a_o.jpg" width="800" height="531" alt="Roger & Gem wedding" /></a><br />I happen to catch Gem looking right at me as Roger delivers a toast.<br />f/1.4, 1/50s, 50mm, ISO 160<br /><br/><br /><br/><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/antman/2629859117/" title="Roger & Gem wedding by antman, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2058/2629859117_7670f9c1be_o.jpg" width="800" height="531" alt="Roger & Gem wedding" /></a><br />The girls looking sophisticated while eating Rock Candy.<br />f/2.8, 1/50s, 24mm, ISO 160<br /><br/><br /><br/><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/antman/2630676872/" title="Roger & Gem wedding by antman, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3076/2630676872_f1075f5c80_o.jpg" width="800" height="591" alt="Roger & Gem wedding" /></a><br />Roger & Gem make their first appearance after the ceremony.<br />f/2.8, 1/125s, 17mm, ISO 200antmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08508162272754306663noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597937788636787151.post-84375501548385026272008-06-21T23:54:00.000-07:002008-06-22T00:20:21.248-07:00Golden Gate Bridge at duskThe Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, as seen from the Marin headlands.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/antman/2599210735/" title="DSC_1929_web by antman, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3198/2599210735_5d237ef6d1_o.jpg" width="800" height="531" alt="DSC_1929_web" /></a><br />f/8, 17mm, ISO 200, 10 second exposureantmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08508162272754306663noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597937788636787151.post-80199814226329657182008-06-19T00:15:00.000-07:002008-06-19T00:19:53.024-07:00Watermelons!While driving in San Francisco around 17th & Florida I spotted this colorful mural painted by <a href="http://picosanchez.net/index.html">Pico Sanchez</a> on a stretch of wooden fence, and instantly knew that I would have to return with my wife and camera for a little portrait session. Turns out that we went back to the mural twice, the second time with me insisting that we bring a slice of watermelon along with us. Fun was had by all, including the curious and amused passers by (especially the observant guy who yelled "WATERMELONS!!" from his car window as he drove by).<br /><br />Here are a couple of my favorite shots from our second visit.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/antman/2591599955/" title="DSC_1754_web by antman, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3256/2591599955_569beb9b47_o.jpg" width="800" height="531" alt="DSC_1754_web" /></a><br />f/2.8, 1/1000s, 19mm, ISO 200<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/antman/2591599919/" title="DSC_1829_web by antman, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3262/2591599919_d5fcae4da4_o.jpg" width="550" height="828" alt="DSC_1829_web" /></a><br />f/2.8, 1/600s, 24mm, ISO 200antmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08508162272754306663noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597937788636787151.post-27223013705224430992008-05-25T09:35:00.000-07:002008-05-25T10:17:14.739-07:00Joe McNally visits GoogleOn May 15 had the pleasure of hearing <a href="http://www.joemcnally.com/blog/">Joe McNally</a> speak at Google. It's quite an honor as he is a prolific photographer who's been at it for over 30 years. He's worked for Time, Life, Newsweek, National Geographic, and Sports Illustrated to name a few of the high profile publications he's contributed to. I read his just-released new book, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Moment-Clicks-Photography-secrets-shooters/dp/0321544080/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1211734941&sr=8-1">The Moment It Clicks</a> and thought it was a great read. His book is written in a similar style as his <a href="http://www.joemcnally.com/blog/">blog</a>, which is very conversational and often self-deprecating in a very funny way.<br /><br />Joe has <a href="http://www.joemcnally.com/blog/2008/05/16/google/">already written</a> about his appearance on his own blog, and here's what he came away with about the work environment at Google:<br /><blockquote><br />"Thing is, it doesn’t feel like a big company. It feels very human. It feels like a place where people (and their pets) are valued. The array of food options (for free) is astonishing. There are more cafes and eateries per square yard than Little Italy in NY. Seems management figured out it is cheaper, happier and more productive to take care of their employees and create a positive work environment than to burn them to a crisp, make them afraid of the future, and send them off into the highways and byways of California in search of a Taco Bell for lunch."<br /></blockquote><br /><br />Here's the YouTube video of his appearance.<br /><object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/1Av6gCq_awQ&hl=en"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/1Av6gCq_awQ&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object><br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Av6gCq_awQ">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Av6gCq_awQ</a>antmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08508162272754306663noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597937788636787151.post-57991164533992065982008-05-10T00:28:00.000-07:002008-05-10T00:32:08.329-07:00Ferry Building - San Francisco<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/antman/2479354109/" title="Ferry Building - San Francisco by antman, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3136/2479354109_7f8ab6704c_o.jpg" width="800" height="531" alt="Ferry Building - San Francisco" /></a><br />f/10, 13 seconds, 17mm, ISO 200<br />Shot at dusk from the Hyatt hotel across the street.antmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08508162272754306663noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597937788636787151.post-29360269869242606872008-05-08T22:21:00.000-07:002008-05-08T22:39:21.324-07:00Doe Mountain Trail Mesa - Sedona, ArizonaTaking interesting pregnancy photos isn't easy, I've come to realize. It's a bit of a tightrope act of trying to show the belly in all its glory while at the same time taking extra care to show it (and mom) in a flattering way. <br /><br />I like how there are three distinct 'formations' to look at in this photo. You have the baby bump of course, the small stack of rocks that someone created, and the grandeur of the mountain valley.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/antman/2477040947/" title="Untitled by antman, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2146/2477040947_c36159f5a2_o.jpg" width="550" height="828" alt="" /></a>m<br />f/8, 1/200sec, 20mm, ISO 200<br />Doe Mountain trail mesa<br />Sedona, Arizonaantmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08508162272754306663noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597937788636787151.post-2848882680355566012008-04-30T08:02:00.000-07:002008-05-05T00:34:46.653-07:00Fun with texturesInspired by my friends over at <a href="http://theblogisfound.com">the image is found</a> photography, I thought I would take a crack at introducing some textures to my images. Here is my first experiment.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/antman/2467324182/" title="DSC_0545c_web by antman, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2358/2467324182_7ac6efece2_o.jpg" width="800" height="531" alt="DSC_0545c_web" /></a><br /><br />f/2.8, 1/80s, 17mm, ISO 800<br /><br />For reference, this is a sample of the concrete texture I used (the original is too big to display here). I flipped the texture horizontally so the crack you see there would appear on the right side instead of the left as it is below.<br /><img src="http://antman.com/img/textures/16_1394.jpg" /><br />(I found this image on some free texture site.)antmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08508162272754306663noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597937788636787151.post-60134479539116346692008-04-27T15:59:00.000-07:002008-04-27T16:08:55.889-07:00It's in the eyes<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/antman/2446586665/" title="It's in the eyes by antman, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2194/2446586665_4b905c247e_o.jpg" width="450" height="672" alt="It's in the eyes" /></a><br />f/2.8, 1/100sec, 22mm, ISO 800antmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08508162272754306663noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597937788636787151.post-73756086402958371552008-04-26T16:13:00.000-07:002008-04-27T16:09:51.944-07:00View from the Fairmont Hotel, San Francisco<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/antman/2444355492/" title="View from the Fairmont Hotel by antman, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3012/2444355492_4b36bc52a9_o.jpg" width="800" height="531" alt="View from the Fairmont Hotel" /></a><br />f/8, 8 seconds, 17mm, ISO 200<br /><br />Grace Cathedral can be seen, and if you look carefully, you can see the Golden Gate bridge on the far right.antmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08508162272754306663noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597937788636787151.post-61310562524959216422008-04-20T15:46:00.000-07:002008-04-27T16:58:20.309-07:00Arizona dreams<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/antman/2428769949/" title="Arizona dirt road, cactus by antman, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3018/2428769949_e513cdee22_o.jpg" width="640" height="425" alt="Arizona dirt road, cactus" /></a><br />1/4000 sec, f/2.8, 35mm, ISO 200, center-weighted metering<br />Shot from drivers side window into rental car side-view mirrorantmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08508162272754306663noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597937788636787151.post-11191289321194241182008-04-09T00:42:00.000-07:002008-04-09T00:46:28.095-07:00Coit Tower, Alcatraz / San FranciscoHaving lived in or around San Francisco for a long time has caused me to take its beauty for granted. I've been trying to change that, and these dusk shots of Coit Tower and North Beach were taken from the highest floor of the Hilton on Kearny street, which offers the unobstructed view you see below.
