Sam is an adorable 3 months old baby boy whom we had a pleasure of photographing last Sunday. He was in a great mood and, according to his parents, unusually well behaved. Being a perfect model throughtout the session, Sam only started to get tired and cranky towards the end.
Loved his gorgeous blue eyes!
A little fig leaf for privacy :)
We had a blast taking these photos and thank you for inviting us over!

Mike and I both love music. The first thing Mike does in the morning is to turn the music on; he turns it off as the last thing before going to sleep. If you want Mike to instantly like you just ask him about his music collection. We are lucky enough to both pretty much like the same stuff (although sometimes he listens to something really annoying) :)
We often have an artist or song that we’re just crazy about for a week and can’t get enough of it. And then we get another favorite. We’re going to start sharing with you some of our favorite tunes and for the past few days we’ve been listening to “Fake It” by Seether. Check it out their video right here:

We’re always looking for interesting music and we’d love to know some of your favorites. Leave a comment to tell us who is in your playlist!

On Saturday afternoon I packed up my camera gear and took Mike along to San Francisco�s Chinatown. I�m currently taking a class on San Francisco�s history and I needed to get some pictures for a presentation.
I always felt that there are actually two Chinatowns in San Francisco: one for tourists and another one for locals. I wasn�t interested in the kitsch of Grant Street with its stylized Chinese architecture and plastic Buddhas. Instead, I headed to the place where locals spend their time: Stockton Street. We started by walking without the cameras up and down Stockton, adjoining alleys and peeking into the stores and grocery markets while listening and looking at the people. We tried to catch the spirit of Chinatown, to understand it a bit better.
I was hoping that people in this area are so used to crowds of tourists armed with all kinds of cameras that they wouldn’t mind me. It was a pretty busy afternoon and luckily not too many people took notice.
I especially liked the markets: they were so full of life! It was getting close to the end of the day and in efforts to sell off the remaining produce the store owners were lowering prices and putting fruits and vegetables on the sidewalks. These sellers were also yelling out what seemed to be names and prices. While being caught up in this experience it wasn’t hard to imagine myself actually being in China: there were smells of unknown exotic veggies, fruits, and all kinds of unrecognizable seafood.
