He is a charmer. Christopher is a modern harpsichordist on a mission to bring this Middle Ages instrument into the 21st Century. He’s a champion of modern compositions for the harpsichord. Ok, I have to say it. He wants to be the Justin Bieber of harpsichordists. I had a great time with Chris shooting at…
With her glowing smile and those stunning big brown eyes, Kristina is undeniably beautiful. But she has never been the princessy type. As her mother offered her glitzy jewelry options, she insistently declined. And she only reluctantly removed her sporty black watch when her friends decisively banned her from wearing it to the wedding. The…
There is an almost magical feeling to seeing an empty venue hours before the main event. I walked through Preservation Park, the gorgeous morning light streaming through the trees and gracing the charming Victorian houses. The space was quiet, the rows of white chairs already set in anticipation of the event to come. A few…
I came out of my building and saw the spotted concrete… it rained? There are only two main seasons in the Bay Area– rainy and not rainy. Just this past week, it was still 85 and sunny. Perhaps I’ve just lost track of days and months, but I wasn’t expecting the rain quite yet. Undeterred,…
I’ve been reading a lot more in recent months. It’s one of the perks of self-employment. And I’ve been reading a lot of Dave Eggers recently. Tonight, I headed to the main library to meet him at an event. Unfortunately, I was a tad bit late. By the time I arrived, the talk had already…
All of the chairs with their matching white covers and navy blue sashes were placed in perfect rows. It was a simple, elegant arrangement set in the shade of the brick building, just slightly tucked aside from the chaos of Fisherman’s Wharf– tourist central, San Francisco. Throughout the day, Margaret and Eric were the calm…
Their friends and family gathered in the beautiful park, and they sat surrounded by trees overlooking serene blue waters. Hilary glowed in the sunshine, her dress understated and romantic, and she stood with her groom, relaxed, smiling. Together they walked down the aisle and stood beneath the chuppah, a simple wedding canopy with gauze for…
With each knock on the door, greetings of salam resonated through the home. Each family entered the house and stepped through to the backyard, transformed by beautiful floral arrangements, hand crafted by the bride’s mother. The warmth of the occasion blended seamlessly with the late afternoon sunshine that lit the space. Magdy entered the backyard,…
It’s a little late into the season, but I’m happy to introduce the very first Anna Wu Photography Assistant Program, starting 2010. I am looking for one to three people who are seriously interested in photography and have time to dedicate to learning and working with me. Please read through this page thoroughly before applying….
I know it’s a matter of familiarity and time. I just moved to San Francisco, and I haven’t been there long enough to enjoy it yet. I haven’t become a part of the city, and it hasn’t become a part of me. I’m not used to this fog, this windy chill, the irony of my…
Dan Hutchings is a classical vocalist based in San Francisco now, but soon moving out of state. He’s reserved, straightforward, and classically good looking too. The cool thing about this session is that it’s the first one I did right here, at my new place in San Francisco. Looking forward to many more to come!
The afternoon sun entices me out of my desk chair and over to the window. Floor to ceiling, wall to wall, Downtown Oakland. Seven palm trees in front of the Tribune tower, next to the courthouse. OUSD, Laney College off to the left. I’ve looked at this view a million times, and it still hasn’t…
