Chicago 1950

About Me

I'll post some photos soon, it'll all be clear.:.I'm a not so recent east coast transplant to Al's bar and a loft in downtown LA... 11 years later SFCA, no loft; new bar, the Utah......... I seem to get new names wherever I go, I was Rallo for awhile, in LA I picked up "Brothercorndog" due to my thing for blues. I am a commercial photographer, with a fine arts background, and a portrait studio in SF: (www.corninggoldphoto.com)....it's just for business. My artwork has been ongoing but I get sidetracked easily. I did production stills for the film industry, I had a good business shooting transparencies for art collectors, art dealers, the furniture industry, and alot of LA Artists back in the day. People knew me as an art handler, and set builder as well as a photographer........ Things change fast in "cow town", and I, Brothercorndog, had some hard days my last two years there. (early 90s) I spent alot of time photographing the "nomadic architecture, and lifestyle" that was right outside my door. Eventually I had to go................... SF has been Great for me, it's civilized, cultured . A cool, cool place. My business BOOMED in the .com era and has been good for 12 years... These days I am as much musician as photographer. Started playing guitar at 16. I've been serious about playing for the last 10 years. Blues gets my undivided attention, especially Chicago style...... I'm what is called "happily married", and that's accurate, most of the time. I have two great kids Sami and Eli you'll see them if you look at my pics.... Well.. I'll be pimpin, check back soon .. .. .. .. .. .. ..
