SF Pride

What a fantastic morning at the Pride Parade! So many friendly and helpful volunteers, and the parade participants were fabulous. I was there with Billibatt Productions. Well-equipped with media passes, we stood right in the middle of Market Street. We got some great shots. Here are just a few.

Now you can buy prints of varying sizes, and you can frame them too, all at the same time, if you want.  Check it out! Imagekind.com has been getting rave reviews.  You can […]

The jury was Kenneth Baker, art critic for the San Francisco Chronicle since 1985, and Kimberly Johansson, a curator and gallerist based in San Francisco, California. I’m really excited!  I’ll post more details as the event gets closer, but mark your calendars and plan […]
