This year, for the first time, I made a calendar. This is a 2016 calendar featuring San Francisco. The local printing company I have been using for years, started offering the option to print calendars. At first, I was not convinced of the value of those calendars, but a friend of mine was asking me if I could sell him a print in the $30 range. I did not have a good answer, even the smallest of my prints is more than $30. It made me think of what I could propose at the price point of $30. This calendar is a solution, it’s beautifully printed by a local reputable company. I have featured my favorite images of San Francisco: some of them you have already seen either on this blog or better in person at one of my exhibits (wait! You have been in one...

This is my second Rennsport and I was very exited to go back this year with a better access. The theme of this reunion was “Legends of Le Mans”. Most Le Mans Porsche winning cars were on display and racing around the track. If you are interested in the racing portion, check out the first part of this blog. In this second part, I will focus on showing you the most incredible cars I have seen and also how close we could get to them. This is a panoramic view of Laguna Seca during Rennsport V. Over 57000 fans came to see 1820 street and race cars. Porsche A.G, the Porsche Museum and private collectors (like Bruce Canepa or Jerry Seinfeld) brought historical cars that are rarely seen all together. Among them was significant cars that have won Le Mans. I...

The Porsche Rennsport Reunion 5th edition (in short Rennsport V) is a gathering of everything that has raced made by Porsche. It includes race cars and drivers, collector vehicles, historic models. This is the 5th edition since 2001 and the second one in Laguna Seca. The title Rennsport was drawn, quite simply, from the German term for “racing.” So the first thing you notice when you arrive at Laguna Seca is noise. There are cars racing! Saturday we watched the Gmund Cup composed of Porsche 550, 550A, RSK, RS60-61 (4&8 cyl.) 2000 GSGT (Dreikantschaber), Abarth Carrera, 356, 904-4cam and Porsche specials The second race was the Eifel Trophy for 911 (911 up to 2.5 liter), 911TR, 911ST, 914, 914/6. It was a wonderful sight to have early 911 racing around...

After going south to Channel Islands National Park, this short trip will take out not far from San Francisco to Stinson Beach and Bolinas. If you leave in the Bay Area, you have probably been driving to Stinson Beach but the town is very different if you can actually stay there! I knew of Stinson Beach before this trip but I was interested in experiencing the early morning when the day trip folks are not yet there. I found a great rental property about 50ft from the beach. There are literally tons of short term rentals in Stinson or Bolinas, a quick search on AirBnb will let you find the one you like. If you have never been in this area, I would recommend going first to Point Reyes but this blog is purely focused on the Stinson Beach area (and Bolinas). Ours was...

I just came back from installing my new exhibit at the San Mateo Main Library. It’s always an honor and pleasure to exhibit at the library. Since I was a kid I have always loved libraries, the San Mateo Main library is a beautiful building with convenient parking underground. My show is a compilation of recent and older images from my trips in Ethiopia, Myanmar and some favorites from San Francisco. The library is located 55 West 3rd Avenue in San Mateo,CA. The library is open: Monday: 10:00 am to 8:00 pm Tuesday: 10:00 am to 8:00 pm Wednesday: 10:00 am to 8:00 pm Thursday: 10:00 am to 8:00 pm Friday: 10:00 am to 5:00 pm Saturday: 10:00 am to 5:00 pm Sunday: 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm The exhibit will stay until October 26th. While you are at Library, it’s a...
