Tiburon Photos

The Sausalito Art Festival was a total blast. My favorite moment was watching The English Beat perform. Dave Wakeling and the rest of the band can really put on a show. Somehow they were able to manage a mashup of their hit Sooner or Later along with Tom Petty’s Free Falling and Pearl Jam’s Better Man. Tainted Love was also a lot of fun for the 80s fans, as was Night Ranger, while Servino’s regular Michael LaMacchia performed on the artist stage.

Monday was the Heroes of Woodstock 40th Anniversary Tribute with Tom Constanten, Quicksilver Messenger Service, Big Brother and the Holding Company, Canned Heat, and Jefferson Starship.

I was a little disappointed with the food, although the crab cakes were really good, and so was the wine and champagne.

And of course the art was definitely worth spending a day or two to go through and see it all.

As for me, I was too busy enjoying the work of others, so continuing in that spirit, please enjoy the above slideshow of photos submitted to Flickr from various attending photographers.

See you all at the Sausalito Art Festival 2010!

From the artist:
The figure has always captivated me. It compels us and we identify with it. We see arms, legs, and head and imagine blood, bones, heart, emotions and intellect. The human body is a symbol of contrasts. It is our nature to be strong, yet delicate, fallible yet sublime, solid yet susceptible. These are qualities I keep in mind whenever beginning a new work.

My images are bold, passionate and often monumental in scale. They are a celebration of our individual uniqueness, resilience and power.

From the Tiburon International Film Festival 2009. Sorry for the delay on these. I really enjoyed the film festival, and saw some incredible films. My favorite, Guard No. 47, won best picture, best director, Filip Renč, best cinematography, Karel Fairaisl, and best actress, Lucia Siposova. There were many other brilliant films, and unfortunately (in terms of photos), I was busier watching films than taking pictures.

I’m looking forward to the Mill Valley Film Festival, October 8-18…and may be doing more than taking pictures there.

As always, you can download these pictures for free from Flickr.

Red Union hair salon is in San Francisco, not Tiburon, but it’s definitely the best hair salon in the greater San Francisco Bay Area, including Tiburon, Belvedere and all of Marin County. From Tiburon, it’s just a quick trip over the Golden Gate and then there’s easy parking off of Union Street. Once a quarter, the owner, Erika Redding does a salon party with free beer, wine, music, and appetizers to show off the new artist’s opening. This is really a wonderful way to start the evening in the city or to come back to Tiburon and end up at Sam’s. However, I’d highly recommend going there first for the hair services!

The next party is Saturday, July 18, 2009, from 7pm to 9pm!
