Andaz Hotel Halloween 2010

Andaz Hotel Halloween Party

This weekend is a pretty big weekend for nightlife; probably second in revenue next to New Years Eve. While on the main night I will be shooting Hard Rock’s event, I wanted to post a little about the Andaz Hotel‘s set up – probably because I’m just a sucker for branding & felt I had...

Lindsey W - Ivy is one of the few venues I like going to in SD…I feel like it’s one of the only places that is actually good to go to without feeling like it’s some overcrowded rave filled with Jersey Shore guys. Ivy has an awesome view tooNovember 24, 2010 – 10:26 pm

Lisa Hobbes - Hahaha that comment about the Hard Rock is hilarious…so true lolNovember 11, 2010 – 10:25 am

I was flattered when I received the call to cover the US Grant’s centennial celebration which...

Colorado in the Fall

I think I got a bit of a travel bug this past month…decided to continue the spree with a trip back home to see the leaves change color. You really can’t get the same kind of atmosphere in San Diego that you do in Colorado…there’s a reason they call it “colorful Colorado.” I also really...

Photowalk: French Quarter, New Orleans

On the last leg of my All-you-can-jet trip, and I decided last week that my final stop would be the great city of New Orleans! Couldn’t have made a better choice – the weather was a perfect 75 degrees with clear blue skies. On my first day in town, I decided to go and check...

Derrick Rennold - Awesome pics, my favorite would actually have to be the one where the guy is walking down the street, and the shot is out of focus except for the light flares. The rest of the shots are great, but I guess I really just like the abstract feel/story of the photo. Cool stuff man!November 14, 2010 – 1:46 pm

Ray Padmore - Hey Tim! Great shots! It was a pleasure meeting you while you were in town, love the photos. Give me a hollar if you’re ever in town again, will do the same if I ever make the venture out to SD!October 14, 2010 – 10:01 pm

2010 San Diego Film Festival at the W Hotel

This was my second time covering this film festival – last year, 2 of the winner’s for best film took their awards and jumped into the pool.
