Cornerstone Rocks

[Note:  This is more of a How-To, Problem-Solution blog for photographers.]

Cornerstone Fellowship in Livermore performed a live recording concert last night for their CD.
The music had some rock, some R&B… it was a jamming concert!  There were thousands of people standing on their feet, singing, clapping and dancing.  I found myself subconsciously pressing my shutter [...]

Commercial Photography: RM Winery

This afternoon, I met with Lindsey who is the head of Marketing and also the daughter of the owners of RM Winery in Livermore.
