On Friday night the San Francisco photography community came together to celebrate Loni.  Our generous host,  Erik Almas, opened his home creating an intimate setting for us to come together, enjoy fine wines, sample delectable cheeses and admire beautiful artwork.  There was a silent auction of donated photographic prints that you could bid on and all funds went directly to Loni’s treatment and hospital bills. Please visit the  “Give It Up For Loni” website created by her friends and family to learn more about the foundation. We are also very excited that we won an auction item!  We are now the proud owners of a David Martinez print and so happy that we were able to support our friend.  Don’t you just love this photo!

A photo booth was set up at the party with pen and paper to send messages to Loni. Here are just a few of the photos from the evening:

In case any of you are wondering what ‘Birdlove’ means…  It comes from our other business called, BirdMan, Inc. We have been scouting Northern California locations for advertising photo shoots, videos and television spots for about 13 years now.

One of the many responsibilities that we do on an almost daily basis is location scouting. We find beautiful and unique locations for the commercial, editorial and advertising still photography markets. Whether it is a coastal curvy road for BMW, or a bright spacious home for Pottery Barn or an upscale law office for HP, we will find whatever our clients need. We have been scouting locations for about 12 years and we continually use these skills whenever we are on a scouting, wedding or advertising project.

If you have the time, take a look at our Birdman Inc, location scouting website to get a better understanding of what scouting is all about! Also if you have a location that you think would make a great backdrop for a photo shoot, let us know!

Last week, we were hired by Levi’s to find ranches with beautiful vistas, great textures and interiors with character. That same week we were called by the Almond Board of California to scout beautiful, flowering almond orchards…

Matt headed to the ranches, while Garrett captured the almond orchards. We had dramatic skies and perfect weather for our scouting days… Here are some of the results:
