Snowbirds.

These Canadian Geese have it good! They live here in Marin County all year long. My parents are Canadian. They live in Toronto in the Summer and migrate to Florida for the Winter with regular specific rest stops along the US Eastern shores. They are dubbed "snowbirds" by local Floridians.

Canada Geese, Canada Goose, Canadian Geese. Early one morning I mentioned to a photographer friend that I was out looking for Canadian Geese and had he seen any that day? He said he didn't even know what American Geese looked like. I found this couple in the Marin wetlands at the end of Richardson Bay.

Technically the Sausalito Christmas Holiday Lighted Boat Parade, but the San Francisco Lighted boat parade does not have the beautiful San Francisco Holiday night Skyline as a backdrop. Happy Holidays. On location sound from the boats, I liked the kids enthusiasm, but not the most professional sounding track.

Happy Holidays from SF BAY IMAGES PHOTOGRAPHY

In honor of it being winter solstice (the cold woke me up last night)I thought I would post a picture of a Peruvian sunset I took earlier this month while shooting a documentary in Peru. I did not see the heart shaped rock in the foreground until later. Serendipity.

Its a girl thing.






It a girl thing. Once in a while I run across photos while filling orders that seem really worthy of reviewing. This talented gal was taking sailing lessons at the Sausalito Yacht Club. For those of you younger then then oh say 30, women sailors are a realiively new thing. Dawn Riley brought it out with her female America Cup team. When I first started photographing races in 2002, females on team were rare.
In fact people in the sailing world could name all the female sailors in the bay area. These days when you shoot a boat race almost every boat has one if not many woman. And then of course there is the lipstick kiss spinnaker in the Farr 40 fleet.

Uh, Yeah. This is a pro team below, doing a good job I might add, but not a female on board. In all the boats competing in the Vintage America Cup Class Boats 2003 I can only thing of one woman on one boat. Oh do correct me if I am wrong. Of course I was out there following them around on my chase boat. Please note the bow man in the water on the first shot. Good Save!


It was a guy thing.

Photograph from Ica, Peru December 2007. This dog was truly adorable, so was his owner. Peruvians LOVE their animals.


So, you are wondering what I was doing in Peru. I was shooting documentary footage on Best Friends Animal Society's Rapid Response team in Ica Peru who were assisting dogs and cats in the wake of the recent earthquake. More on this later, but for now here are some photos. Video to follow, but we are currently very busy fullfillling your orders. Thank your for your interest in SFBYIMAGES.com.
