Marie Claire China was kind enough to get in touch with me and name Gene Higa Photography as 1 of 5 of the Top photographers. WOW! I have been internationally published before but this was really humbling. Marie Claire-China and I have been in talks for several months now and it’s nice to see it in print. Here are a couple of shots my buddy Jim Garner sent over. I have the privilege of being published with close friends Jose Villa, Jim Garner, Cliff Mautner and Karen Wise.

We have a winner!!! Yay!!! Thanks to the over 4700 + people who participated in our little contest. We appreciate all of the retweets, the comments made and especially your votes. All of the videos were either fun, artistic or very creative. We actually took a long time watching the videos and videos over and over again to pick our favorites. From there the public decided. Thanks to the many people who took the time to watch the videos and cast their votes to pick the winner.

Below is the poll. I screen grabbed it at 5:00 pst from my iphone, cause I was at the airport picking up the Bui bothers.

Below is the winning video. CONGRATULATIONS! See you in Tuscany.

Robert Evans and Curt Appanovich the creators of photography mentor were in San Francisco last week, for the Photo-fusion Tour. Some of you may know of Robert Evans, he shot Tom Cruise + Katie Holmes and Brad Pitt’s first wedding to Jennifer Aniston a couple of years back. Amazing! They were kind enough to ask me to do a wedding model photoshoot. Photography Mentor is a educational website for the up and coming or seasoned wedding photographer. Photography Mentor is one of the best social medias out there for wedding photographers in San San Francisco and abroad.

Jaime Dollaga is THE amazing San Francisco based model who was happy to be my bride for the day. Armando Sarabia got her do up and glammed up her make up. All of her amazing handmade jewelery was from Lindsie Jones of Haute Bride and Jose gave me the dress. Thanks everyone for the hook up.
