Photography in the Presido San Francisco

This was done a while back and I am currently finishing a project for a musician named Rick Kurek. I have been a follower of his music since 2001 when he was the lead guitarist for a Celtic indie band called Brother. The summer of 2001 was a fabulous time seeing them perform throughout California while I was pregnant with my youngest. Rick went back to doing his own independent work a few years ago and I continued to enjoy his music. He even did a house concert at our home in 2004 with about 40 people in my backyard one September evening. We had such a great time even though the police were called around 8 pm because of the noise level! Rick was up visiting the Bay Area a few weeks ago and we did a little location shooting in the city. Some were natural light, some were shot with off camera flash (Vivatar 285) and a Wescott Apollo 28 x 28 softbox on a lightstand. Because Rick is an artist/musician I knew he would let me play with lighting and effects and go for some more dramatic looks. You can also hear some of his music on his myspace page.
