Amy's New Studio

My dear friend Amy Perl has a new photography studio on Piedmont Avenue in Oakland. I was able to squeeze in some time with her last month when I was in California and I fell in love with her new space and all that she has done with it. I have always been a big fan of Amy's work and she helped really inspire me to get into photography again after Ben was born. I met her when I took Ben to have his portrait done by her when he was a wee one of four months and we became fast friends. And she still shoots film, so it is nice to have a resource for all my medium format questions like how do I load the camera? Yep. I have asked her stuff THAT basic. As you can see in the first image, I have started inserting myself into photos to prove that yes, I do indeed exist. Here are some of her beautiful images and her amazing new studio.
