Oh, we had such great fun yesterday -- the San Francisco Caliber Group held it's first official photo-walk and I tagged along with about 35 other photographers as we made a riotous procession from the Cable Car Turnaround all the way up to roughly Fulton and Divisidero.
She was so dolled-up as a beauty from the 1940's that I didn't recognize her at first, but this is the most wonderful Julie Michelle, one of the four key members of the Caliber Group.
Julie is one very talented woman and recently not only had a successful show at Tedda Hughes, a botique and gallery on Polk Street, but also got a wonderful write-up in the Chronicle regarding her I Live Here: S.F. project. I've already predicted that Julie will turn out to be the next Annie Leibowitz.
Julie has a real talent for photographing people, and my current theory is that her success is due to the fact that she is just so much fun to be around. She can definitely bring out the best in people.
You can explore Julie Michelle in at least three different ways;
First, her blog at http://tangobaby2.blogspot.com
Second, her I Live Here: S.F. project where her subjects write something about why and how they came to live in San Francisco.
And third, her great website at http://femmefotographie.com

I shot this gentleman as he was playing a game of chess -- on Market Street there is a long row of tables set up for that purpose. I think his face has a lot of character. I have a few scars of my own from continually falling off my bicycle as a kid, and if I knew this gentleman well enough to ask, I'm sure I would be spellbound finding out how he got that wicked scar across his cheek.
