The whole shootin’ match.
Here’s another image from last weekend’s accordion festival. This guy is old school, but his look is très cool. No need for color–his vibe is all about black and white. I grabbed the shot while standing just outside a small booth where accordions were being sold.

Here’s a shot taken at our booth at the Cotati Accordion Festival this past weekend–Renée and Sean doing business, each in their own way. I REALLY like the “overexposed” look of this shot! I can see more of this style coming.

This past weekend our band played at the Cotati Accordion Festival. Our set was on Saturday, but Maggie and I were there all day, both days, selling merch and hanging with friends and fans. When I wasn’t at the booth working, eating or enjoying a cold beer or two ;-), I was out and about with my camera. My first offering is a portrait of our fiddler friend Scott working a button box.

I’ve been an avid Photoshop user since the early 90s. During the first 7 years of my current career I did a LOT of image production work in Photoshop. So, yeah, I can make it go. I took this image of a section of the support columns under the Mill Valley bridge during yesterday’s commute shoot. The golden yellows and blues were in the original, but I used some Photoshop moves to make the colors more vibrant and dramatic. Why not?

The traffic through the city wasn’t too bad today so I pulled off a few miles after crossing the Golden Gate at the Mill Valley exit and did a few minutes of exploring. I found this view of Mt. Tamalpais looking north under the overpass on the Mill Valley-Sausalito Path. The cyclist probably sees it all the time in all different conditions, but this is what it looked like today.
