Smuin's lovely and talented Maggie Carey, from a shoot earlier this year.
Smuin Ballet's fabulous Bay Area season closed Friday in Carmel. They will be performing at the Joyce Theater in New York in July, so if you're in Chelsea, you should come see them.

This is what happens when a kid you were coaching luckily ignores you and throws a near perfect uchi mata in the Junior Olympics yesterday in San Jose. Marcus Fung, in blue, won a silver medal and is amazing!

Happy 50th anniversary of the Watergate break in. I shot this in 1978 at an Angels game. I saw Nixon go into Gene Autrey’s private box, and I asked one of the other people going in if I could come in and shoot a photo. Nixon himself came came out and invited me in to shoot this photo. It never ran.
