Welcome Hey there, thanks for stopping by! Welcome to my little corner of the internet, my place to share my voice and photography. In case you don't know me, I am Sara (that's me to the left, the one without a big white furry coat). I am a photographer based in the San Francisco Bay area, California. I LOVE my work, and you will see a bit of that sneaking in here. I also use this as a place to share other parts of my life. You will find adventures, food and little tidbits about my life with my darling husband and our two fat cats.  Please feel free to have a look around and even leave me a note. I would love to hear from you!

This is Doron. If you asked him what he does you would probably end up with a mischievous grin and a, 'well that's a good question.'. Doron has and unending list of talents.  I first met him when I joined Crossfit East Bay. He is an incredible crossfit coach. Not only is he a mobility king (despite being one of the least flexible people I know), but he knows how to watch what you are doing and fix it. I know that this sounds like a simple thing, but I promise you it is not. Thinking back to when I was attempting to teach my fella how to ski, all I could tell him was 'snow plow!!!' It didn't end well. I owe my wall-balls 100% to Doron. Not that they are all that great, but they are getting there. He has also worked tirelessly on my running form, almost got me to a sub 7 minute mile. If you have ever seen me run you would know just how impressive this is. Now I could stop there, but there is a lot more to Doron...

'I was born in Israel, and settled in the US at the age of 7 after a brief 3 year stint in Switzerland. I did my undergrad in Music (jazz theory and composition) from UC Riverside (2001), then master's in Architecture (M.Arch 1) at Syracuse Univ (2008). I got into computers through music, which got into CG and 3D, which got me into animation. Framing for animations and 3D required the same eye as shooting. Around 2000, I started shooting a lot. When I did my first year of grad school, I was mentored by a landscape/commercial photographer who was in school to get his own master's of Arch and he taught me the difference between shooting for fun and being critical about my craft. I became the defacto studio lighting and CG lighting expert at Syracuse and taught some studios/seminars on each. I love teaching and creating, in any medium. 

as for unique stuff....there's the dude who looks just like me (he has a twin). I have an tendency to obsess about details. I pull way too many all-nighters. I believe that one should always open a door for a women, or the elderly and that chivalry shouldn't be dead.  I crave coffee 24-7. Sweets are on my mind most times of the day. My favorite architect is...a painter (hundertwasser).  Fashion designer Tom Ford (http://www.tomford.com/#/en/thebrand/tomford) showed me that architects don't have to practice. I am an attention whore with an inferiority complex. I crave attention and when I get it, I worry I'm not good enough :(   it took me 7 years to get a muscle up.  I have an unhealthy obsession with Minnesota team sports (twins, vikings, etc) even though I've never been there.'

So, Doron: Crossfit coach, Pose running extraordinaire, Graphic Designer, Architect, Website Designer, Musician. And on and on. The man is a meat-head creative. Brilliant.
