San Francisco Guitar Quartet | San Francisco Headshots Photographer
Western music very often comes in fours: 4/4 time, 4 strings on a violin, and all those beautiful 4-member groups: string quartets, barbershop quartets, brass quartets– even the standard rock band is usually two guitars, a bass, and a drum kit.

After the Rain
It was mid-morning. I sat at my desk typing away at my emails, attempting to appease the multicolored starred and flagged messages crowding my inbox. Taking a break from the work, I glanced outside, and I spared not a moment before grabbing my camera and walking straight to the window. Stretched perfectly over downtown Oakland,…
