Transplant

"Philip Jacob, among other transplant recipients, stand and wait to get their photo taken on Friday at Arrillaga Alumni Center at Stanford. Hundreds of current and past transplant patients and staff from Packard Children’s Hospital and Stanford Clinics gathered to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the first human heart transplant in the United States."

This was interesting. I had other photos that went with the story but this is the one that stood out to me the most. Reminded me of "I'm Phil and im a transplant survivor"

Prop 11

"Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger speaks about Proposition 11 on Thursday at Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital in Palo Alto. The Governor along with Former State Controller Steve Westly, Local Bay Area Leaders, AARP and Healthcare Professionals urged Californians to support Proposition 11."

The Governator made his way down to Palo Alto recently to endorse Prop 11.

Palo Alto Midtown

"Left, Keiren Hanay, 8, of Palo Alto, and his sister, Kaitlin, 7, box with giant gloves on Saturday in Palo Alto during the 3rd annual Midtown Festival."

Palo Alto recently held its annual Midtown festival. Not to sure I came at the right time but had no time to stick around and see if that was the case. Here is my favorite photo of the assignment.

Volley Ball Match

"St. Francis’ (8) Kristin Winkler dives for the ball during a volleyball match against Notre Dame in Mountain View on Tuesday."


Yeah yeah I know I know... its been a while since the last time I updated but when you get busy things like this get put to the side. There is no order on when I shot these but they are fairly recent.

Photos from the past few days

So I have not put up photos for a few days but been busy with other things. I thought this time I would update the page with a few sports photos I shot over the past few days. Not much to say but enjoy the photos!

Turning 6

You only turn 6 once... just like any other age for most of us but when you are that young you feel so special.



Since I dont live in a house but instead in an apartment, my wife and I decided to though our son a party at a bowling alley.



It was a lot of fun... but as you can imagine... Chaos! I would say about 16 kids showed up to bowl and celebrate this special day, and including parents, I say we had a good turn out.



The party was held at AMF bowling in Fremont, just a mile or so up the road. It included Pizza and drinks, shoes, and a bowling pin for the birthday boy.



Wearing a hat as a photographer and a father was difficult at times, especially when there is only one host working the desk at the bowling alley.



Though at the end of the day I was exhausted, it was well worth to see my 1st of soon to be 4 sons have so much fun.

Suzanne and Dave's Wedding

Today was my first time being a second shooter and working with Bella Pictures. Usually when I shoot weddings I am in control of the entire thing and get to do as I want so it was definitely an experience.



I was sent over to the grooms men home to photograph them getting set to go to the church. It was a difficult shoot since there was so much clutter in the background while till making the photo look good so we got a bit creative since they where done getting ready.



When I got to the church the priest did not want us to move around so I was stuck in one spot. I was to stay in the back while the main shooter covered the ceremony up front.



After the ceremony the main photog had to take some portraits of the couple and the wedding party and I was sent to take photos of people having cocktails and details of the venue.



As most receptions there was dancing, kissing, and cake cutting. Though I did not get to meet the couple before had they seem to be good people.



Enjoy the rest of the photos and thank you for looking!
