Blue Rock BBQ (Interiors)

Owen and Marie Jobson have done a fantastic job with their first restaurant, Blue Rock BBQ (San Jose). The interior, signage and and identity all indicate a corporate franchise – but alas, this is simply a well executed vision by two entrepreneurs who are passionate about southern cooking and bringing service back to the service […]

Morton’s the Steakhouse (Interiors Part II)

So round one for Morton’s was last week, this week we focused on promoting the space for weddings and parties. Morton’s is world-renowned for their excellent cuts of cow-flesh (and who doesn’t love that!), and in that regard they don’t disappoint. But for some reason people don’t see Morton’s as a kid-friendly or fun party-friendly […]

Ah, Tomatina, how I love you even though you’re kind of a chain restaurant… but I won’t hold that against you, because your pizza is sooo good! And who knew you had such succulent desserts?

Faultline Brewery in Sunnyvale needed some new shots, so of course I was there to do what I do best – eat food! Did I just say that? Um… well, I shot it, THEN ate it, like a good boy. This is actually quite a nice location for a wedding (Sarah + Matt), there’s lots […]

Jennifer Galvin (Portrait)

My wife is a runner and swears by Jennifer Galvin’s body therapy services. Not just a masseuse, Jennifer knows how to safely manipulate your appendages like a surgeon takes to the blade. Her clients tend to be athletes looking for relief from specific injuries, or simply people that have pain or stress and need a […]

Morton’s the Steakhouse (Interiors Part I)

So I definitely was not prepared for the number of interior photos I’d be shooting for Morton’s the Steakhouse in San Jose. When I assured them it would only take a couple of hours, they hesitated, unsure of whether I was grasping the entirety of their needs. You see, usually I go into a place […]

Gaurav + Isha (Engagement)

But alas, plans changed – I guess the pressure was too great. However, his fiancee said “yes” this morning so I made my way […]

Ok, so forgive me the dramatic headline. I’m on a roll for non-professional posts on my blog, so here’s one more; I tend to avoid putting personal stuff here, but I thought there were a few gems from today that I had to share. Well more than a few – between my wife and I […]

Medallion Steakhouse (Interiors + Food)

I had a quick shoot today with Lee Duvall’s Medallion Steakhouse in Burlingame. She wanted some interiors of the restaurant that opened late last year – and since this is my specialty I was on the case. We managed to shoot a tasty-looking steak (it was wayyy too rare to eat unfortunately) and some crab […]

Strawberry Day at Gault Elementary

Stawberry Day at Gault Elementary (my daughter’s school) is full of (you guessed it) strawberry-related activities, the core of which is a little hide-and-seek in the special outdoor “Life Lab,” the expansive garden that the teachers and kids maintain. The kids were having a ton of fun, and I had a great time chasing them […]

Gutter Patrol (Photos + Mailer Design)

Gutter Patrol wanted a postcard mailer to help promote their window cleaning services. Since this is GoodEye Photography + Design, I put on both my photographer and design hats to come up with a concept that would attract attention and communicate the message. It took me a while to sell the husband & wife team […]

Magazine Cover (Before / After: v10 i07)

People keep asking me “Did you really take that photo,” or, “Did you photoshop that picture together?” – so to put the questions to rest I’m writing this here blog post. As you can plainly see in the top left photo, the clouds, grass, cows and lone tree are all part of the original landscape. […]

Mill Rose Inn, HMB (Interiors / Exteriors)

My wife and I recently stayed at Mill Rose Inn, nestled near downtown Half Moon Bay. It may not boast an ocean view, but once you walk into the secluded gardens, you’re immersed in an oasis of comfort and class. You’ll feel like royalty occupying one of the six unique rooms – the design of […]

Advertising: More Necessary Than Ever in a Depressed Economy

I deal in the advertising business every day. I know it can work, and that sometimes it doesn’t. I think one of the toughest decisions for any business is not whether to advertise or not – you really have to – it’s where to spend those advertising dollars. Then you have to figure out how […]

Junnoon (New Lounge, Cocktails)

I shot Junnoon in 2008 a couple times. The first time was overall coverage of the place, my typical new-client-gets-a-little-bit-of-everything photography. A couple months later I took a few shots to promote their outside brunch dining area, which is really nice. Fast forward two years, and Priya, the COO, calls me up saying they’ve redesigned […]

MacArthur Park Restaurant (Food)

So, yesterday I shot some interiors for Faz at MacArthur Park Restaurant in Palo Alto, and they liked the photos so much they wanted to see what I could do with their food. I obliged, and invited some friends to help eat the tasty morsels. If I didn’t get help eating all the time, I’d […]
