Occupying my painting for the first issue of Revolt magazine
Saturday, April 7th, 2012100 percent Ultra Violet
Thursday, December 1st, 2011I went to Ultra Violet’s studio this past weekend to take photographs of her and her work. Ultra Violet said the first person she met off the boat ( arriving from France in the 60’s ) was Salvador Dali. She became his muse, and later on, became a muse to Andy Warhol and a superstar in his Factory.

Bay to Breakers Portraits
Sunday, May 16th, 2010
Mirena Rhee, Bay to Breakers portraits, 2009. Last work with the old Canon camera - I signed up for the 2009 race and ran/walked the 12k course with my 128mm eye.
This series for me is a collective reflection on the human condition. Behind the funny hats and painted faces are the anxieties we face in the 21 century – terrorism, global disaster threats like the Swine flu, freedom to choose partners, freedom to accept other people’s choices, the environmental Health of our Spaceship Earth, globalization, multiculturalism and the extinction of identity.
Christmas
Monday, December 14th, 2009I will spend Christmas in the Netherlands again, although for a very short amount of time and afterward I am heading to Madrid to study at the Prado, mostly to look at Hieronymus Bosch work, hope it’s not travelling somewhere. Especially interested in The Garden of Earthly Delights, the museum site says it’s in room 56, so I’ll be there.
The prettiest Christmas tree in San Francisco is in the Neuman Marcus store downtown

Fashion Feud
Saturday, November 7th, 2009My favorite sport is base jumping, I practice a special version of it where you have to perform some aerial acrobatics and go through a series of hoops to get the chute to open. I really enjoy this.
The other favorite past time of mine is fashion and the display of fabrics accompanied by beautiful lighting. I went to the San Francisco based Fashion Feud competition and took photographs of some nice looking crowd in a great night spot turned runway for the night: My Fashion Feud Flick Set.
Fashion Feud is a live "Project Runway" like competition on stage. Designers are given an hour to create a design to prepare for a runway on stage. Models will have a walk-of on stage with their newly designed outfits. The audience will judge who the best designer of the evening by their applause.
Fabrics provided from "Mood Fabrics New York". This event is sponsored by "SCION".
On my second visit to Alcatraz…
Thursday, October 22nd, 2009
The Sun sets over the Walls of Alcatraz. You can purchase a print of this photograph @ FineArtAmerica -->click on image for link
I felt the oppression embeded in the walls and the pain of the inprisoned ghosts, I wouldn’t say this was very attractive to me. I find it very strange this place is a tourist attraction.
Looking out of the rock and towards the beautiful city across the bay I can think of only one thing – how very priviliged we are to enjoy our freedoms and to enjoy the freedom to do the things we love.
Waiting for the astronomical twilight on my hands and knees under the dome of the Palace of Fine Arts
Sunday, September 6th, 2009I returned to the palace of Fine Arts to reshoot photographs I took a month earlier – back then I had wondered into the space by chance and didn’t carry a tripod… which resulted in grain and noise. I looked up the time stamps on the files and then googled for the sunset time for that day. Turned out besides sunset there are all these interesting terms associated with sunset data like Civil Twilight, Nautical Twilight and Astronomical twilight. According to the charts I had taken the picture (below) 20 minutes after sunset and 10 before civil twilight when wild things come out, obviously, beasts are partial to beautiful light.
The Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco near Astronomical Twilight
Today sunset was around 7:30 pm so I waited 2o minutes for the twilight to set in and some amazing things happened during that time – a guy stood under the belly of the dome and sung with the most beautiful voice a song called “Salve Regina” … after that I lied to a couple of Tourists that the Palace was a part of a pre-earthquake bathhouse, absolutely not on purpose and out of sheer ignorance.
So Here it is San Francisco palace of Fine Arts – round Two:
