Sometimes you get nice surprises in life and I got one just last week. Someone decided I was #3 in a list of top 10 photographers in San Francisco. Well, damn, I will take it and thank you very much! Here is a bit from their post and link. Be sure to check out Peerspace and the link to the article with some great local talent at The 10 Best Event Photographers in San Francisco.

“Hello, San Francisco! Our city is full of amazing companies making some of the most important products in the world. And those great products deserve to be celebrated. You may even have an event planner right now planning your next product launch, networking cocktail hour, or party. But just as important as hiring the right event planner and finding the right location is determining the right photographer to document your event.

And that’s why we’ve put together this list of the top San Francisco event photographers. We know your events are awesome — any one of the shutterbugs on this list can make sure the rest of the world knows, too.”
