WatchThis is my short, and shittyface movie from the Indian Summer Party. It’s a rundown of my three favorite events. And no, it’s not great quality, and I took all of 7 minutes to “edit” it, but I know those homos from the Oscars are going to call me any minute now…im waiting…

The Glen E. Friedman opening at 941 Geary,...
To be honest, I had never heard of Glen Friedman until yesterday. Maybe its because I never went to photography school, or college, or whatever. I don’t know. I have heard of Glenn Close though, and I’m sure they’re related. (my good friend Jake has been planning a Glenn Close-athon movie night for about a year now, ill let you all know when the dates are set in stone). Even...

Julie Michelle and the I Live Here: SF...
I had just returned from a month long-cross country road trip with my girlfriend when I stumbled upon Julie’s iliveheresf website. (I had three days off to kill and I fully planned on spending them glued to my Mac, reading photo blogs, and absorbing as much inspiration as humanly possible.) I remember scrolling through the posts, turning to my girlfriend and yelling, “why the fuck...

I have no idea what the fuck 'fear the beard'...
Giants madness.
Let me first say that I AM NOT A BASEBALL FAN. This means that 1) I didn’t watch any of the games 2)I didn’t go out and buy a Giants jersey/flag/hat..whatever..3)I have no idea what the fuck ‘fear the beard’ means. Yes, I am a sourpuss/debbie downer, I understand…I had no intention of leaving my cozy neighborhood tonight, mostly because I...

The Tenderloin...now in new spicy nacho and...
Lately, I have been so busy slangin’ coffee, watching all the seasons of 30 Rock on Netflix, and saving the world, that I haven’t had much time to photograph. So today, instead of masturbating furiously to free porn(thanks pornhub.com!), I decided to take my short gay ass down to the Tenderloin for a photography adventure. Here be the fruit of my loins..in the loin(OH SNAP!):
I sort...

Repaid in Blood
I recently had the privilege to photograph South Bay metal band; Repaid in Blood. It was pretty much a fucking blast. I dragged these poor guys under transient infested overpasses, onto active railroad tracks, and had them walkin’ on broken glass(Annie Lennox shout out). After the shoot, we all had milkshakes and took an AIDS test…
I considered writing a few paragraphs on the...

Gettin' my cherry popped with a tendernob at Farm...
So today was my FIRST, yes first, time at Farm Table. And for some reason, I felt the need to bring my camera along, photograph my food, and then come home and blog about it.
I wish I had written down the menu so I could at least say what I enjoyed eating. I will say one thing though…Farm Table is delicious and NOT RIDICILIOUSLY EXPENSIVE. I though it would be, for some reason.

Polk Street Blues Festival..petting zoos, magic,...
I was excited for the Polk Street Blues Festival, not only because it was the FIRST Polk St Blues Festival…and not only because I love blues music and overpriced food served by people sweating in 113 degree tents, but because the festivities took place a few blocks from my house, and if its not close to my house, I aint goin…a bitch is lazy. Plus it had to be, what, 80 degrees outside?...

That’s right, I was creepin’…
So I heard about this whole (Park)ing day thing Thursday afternoon, so naturally, I woke up in the wee hours of the morning (noon), to waltz around downtown, un-showered, and check out. First stop, the Tenderblog Park:
My girlfriend and I creep’d on the opposite side of the street until our creeping was noticed, and acknowledged with a...

Memorial day weekend. My 14 year old brother Christopher, my gassy father, and I all got in the car for a 10 hour drive to Ely, Nevada. Where is Ely? Here! Right next Utah, and I’m sure, an assload of Mormons. Now some info:

The ratio of female to male is almost equal and 81% of the population is white/non-Hispanic.
Elevation: 6427 ft

CHOMPCHOMPCHOMP!
So after leaving my stupid Iphone in the cab, Carolyn and I made it to the carnivorous plant exhibit, I normally hate photographs of plants or flowers, but seriously, these things will eat you….and that’s kind of amazing.
I prefer the ones that look like they have teeth, but some of them look like regular ass flowers, sneaky mother fuckers.
I also like this one, because it...

Human of the Week: Sf Comedian Nicole Calasich
How to photograph a comedian in 5 steps or less.
1.find alcohol, cheap alcohol.(I think we hit up at least 3 liquor stores)
2. Bake. Notice how the cupcakes come out of the oven; hot, delicious and already frosted! Amazing!
3. Enjoy no longer carbonated alcohol and party favors.
4. Be classy.
5. Ah, the end is near. Now to sit back, relax, and enjoy a cup of joe with...

Human of the week: Bacteria Earth/Middle Sea...
I first met Shane Hanofee in downtown San Francisco. It was pouring rain and he sat, soaking wet, on the slick Bart station steps. His guitar case was open, a few drenched dollar bills crumpled inside, and next to him laid a half empty bottle of Jim Beam. I put down some newspaper, took a freshly rolled joint and bright yellow lighter out of my pocket, and handed it to him. He put the joint...

Jake Burrmann, 27 years old, born a Washingtonian, raised in the good ol’ Bay Area, and undoubtedly one of the dorkiest people I know, in a good way of course. When Jake isn’t immersed in music (which doesn’t take too much, since he stands about 5’3) hes pursuing his other loves; Star Wars, DC comics (Batman and Green Lantern mostly), movies of all kinds, horror novels,...
