I’ve been the un-official, official photographer for the Four Seasons since they opened up in Palo Alto five years ago. They use me for all the important stuff they can make room in their budgets for, and it’s always a blast – the management at this Four Seasons hotel is SO cool – every year […]

I’ve covered the annual tree-lighting ceremony at the Four Seasons hotel in East Palo Alto several times over the last few years – they do such a great job of having lots of activities for little kids, plus yummy drinks and snacks for the adults.

Cassie at Four Seasons over in Palo Alto called me earlier this week as they have some new hires that need some headshots. Most everyone is ambivalent to loathsome when it comes to getting their picture taken, so I try to make it quick, painless, and maybe even a little fun. I’m not a comedian, […]

The folks at Four Seasons, East Palo Alto know how to throw a tree-lighting party. The place was swarming with giggling children and parents desperately seeking out steaming coffee, or perhaps the famous hot chocolate put out by the high-end hotel. Regardless, there was no shortage of things to do: an outside movie theater, cookie […]

Why would anyone need a ten-thousand-dollar machine dedicated simply to kneading dough into varying strips and extrusions? Well apparently it makes the chef’s job way easier. And if you’re the Four Seasons, nothing is too good for Chef Alessandro. He’s a soft-spoken guy, but I’ve never seen him so excited as when he’s wielding the […]

The Four Seasons Hotel in Palo Alto hosted a recent party for Elite Yelpers, the pro-bono driving force behind the incredibly useful www.yelp.com website. Even though I was hired by 4s, I was “just another photographer” at this event where many techno-savvy attendees were sporting their digital rebels, etc. SLRs. Which was fine by me […]
