I run the Photolight Meetup group, so if you're in the San Francisco Bay Area, stop by and check us out—we're always doing something interesting.

Please contact me if you would like to use my images for any purpose.

What's with the funky names on some of your images of models? Rather than try to describe the image or its motivation, I just free associate a name while looking at it. Whatever pops into my head, that's what goes down as the title. The more pretentious it sounds, the more it amuses me and the more likely I am to use it. :-)

As a Strobist, I'm all about sharing the knowledge. If you have questions about any of the things below and want my feedback, feel free to message me and ask!

"I find it funny and kind of charming that groups devoted to praising creative and skillful pieces of art have the most hideously garish awards I've ever seen:)" —from philip918's profile
