Hey everyone,
A recent development for e&b photography has had a lot to do with a non profit jazz workshop in the Oakland area. Recently, Khalil Shaheed the director of Oaktown Jazz Workshops contacted us with a need for a photographer to document a recent guest appearance at one of their lessons. Khalil needed documentation of the session in order to promote the workshop and gain funding for a great youth program. I was happy to oblige with the idea that this shoot would be pro-bono and would help the youth in Oakland to have access to a free music program.
Shortly thereafter, Khalil phoned me with need for promotional shots of him in an Oakland location that would be used on a new promotional website. Khalil and I met at Middle Harbor Park near the Port of Oakland. Where incidentally Khalil promotes a large summer jazz festival hosting a variety of jazz musicians from near and far. Below are a few photos from the workshop and the portrait session that followed.
Helping local organizations is what it is all about. e&b photography will always be willing to help out for a good cause.

Right on. Great spirit + pics.
