San Francisco Product Photography – Millinery By The Indra

I absolutely love hats, and I was super excited when Indra approached me to do some product photos of her spring line. It’s been wonderful to watch the resurgence of high-end millinery as a fashion trend. We’re particularly blessed here in SF to have a number of fantastic local designers and shops selling top quality hats in a wide range of styles, Indra’s one of them. Check out her website at TheIndra, she hand-crafts wonderful, sculptural hats well suited for costuming, bridal, or that fancy afternoon tea party in the park.

Calypso bulbosa – California Native Orchid

Mental note – carry macro filters whenever I take hikes! We were up near Ukiah in an old growth redwood grove and stumbled upon a patch of these incredible slipper orchids. A friend at the Sf Orchid Society helped identify them as Calypso bulbosa, and these are the first native orchids I’ve seen so far this year.

Latest Prop 8 Ruling – Unconstitutional

The San Francisco 9th Circuit court has ruled today to uphold Judge Walkers decision that Proposition 8 is unconstitutional.

I don’t often post about politics on this blog, my emphasis here is to focus on the images. In this case, however, I feel that marriage equality is a hugely important issue and am astounded that so many people in my home state feel that two adult human beings should be denied that right based on sexual orientation.

Laws have no place in dictating people’s freedom of religion, or their right to marry. We live in a diverse and beautiful world with a wide range of human experience. I will always support the rights of all adult human beings to love whom they love. Marriage for all!

My favorite herald of spring, when the trees in our neighborhood burst into bloom with these fragile pink blossoms. According to a friend, they aren’t actually cherry blossoms, but ornamental plums. Which makes perfect sense, because I have never noticed any actual fruit produced by these trees! Still, they’re a lovely display, no?
