Hooray for Hollywood?

July 20, 2014 by TIA INTERNATIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY

As a professional photographer headquartered in Seattle, I always enjoy learning the locations from where new customers and potential clients contact TIA, and which images they are interested in licensing. For example, I am currently dealing with (or patiently waiting for, rather) an architecture firm in London for its final decision on which TIA aerial images of San Francisco it would like to license for an upcoming proposal it wishes to draft regarding a new skyscraper it plans to build […]

Beautiful Day by the Bay

March 14, 2013 by TIA INTERNATIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY

San Francisco is on my mind at the moment. Since I was a child, I still think it is the most beautiful city in the United States. The Bay, the Bridges, the city, the neighborhoods and, of course, the people — they each make the city so unique and spectacular in its own remarkable way.

Hope & Irresponsibility

March 5, 2013 by TIA INTERNATIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY

I think it happened somewhere on Hope Street between W. 2nd & W. 3rd Streets, possibly a little after 8pm. It was the fourth day of November in 2011, a Friday night. I was enjoying the urban grid of the streets of LA on what turned out to be a very clear night. It had been raining when I arrived from Seattle (perhaps it followed me?), but the rain seemed to purge the city of its pollution and clear the night sky, if only […]

A View to a Thrill

January 28, 2012 by TIA INTERNATIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY

I thought I would pay a small tribute to what I believe to be the most beautiful city in the United States — San Francisco, California. Ever since I was a boy in grade school, I had seen photos of this magnificent city whose two bridges were as iconic in their own rights as the City is itself. This image was photographed during my first seaplane tour from Sausalito in April 2008. As I was traveling on my own, I […]
