A few weeks ago I went up to San Francisco for an engagement session with Mary and Eddy who both have impeccable style and taste. We started the session at their home, then went off to Blue Bottle on Mint Street and photographed around there. After our coffee fix, we darted to Golden Gate Park and beat the incoming fog to finish off our session at the De Young museum, which was a great way to end the day. We were joined by RJ of Apex Express, who was interviewing me and a few other photographers on our thoughts on love, its great to hear Mary, Eddy and myself talk about ourselves and our philosophies. Its a great program who is also in need of support to keep the great stories coming along, so feel free to make a donation on their website as you listen to us chat, we start around 23:00.
Thanks for the opportunity Chaz! Folks have come up to me either to put a hand on my shoulder in support for finding ‘her,’ or just because they found the piece really entertaining – which is quite the departure from our otherwise overtly political programming (think angry, but well informed Left).
Come to think of it though, choosing who you love and how you express that love is probably the most political act one could do.
Congrats Mary and Eddy, and keep documenting love in the time of now, Chaz.
What!? TWO posts in less than a week! Good job!
These are amazing Chaz! I LOVE the black&white ones!!!
Thanks to R.J. and Chaz for such an enlightening and and entertaining piece. Mary and I had so much fun the day of the shoot. It’s so great that we get to have such tangible pieces of our memories: Chaz’s beautiful photos, and R.J.’s commentary as an outsider looking in, sharing our many moments of laughter. You guys are the best!
Oh, and some people say bitter melon is an acquired taste…I think I might be still acquiring.
You’re killing me with that last one, reverse reflection…nice!
