Fort Point

My youngest son and I recently traveled to San Francisco.  On our stroll across the Golden Gate Bridge I discovered this surf spot right under the southern end.  Fort Point is one of the more unusual breaks on the California coast, to say the least.  Here's a bodyboarder braving the frigid water and avoiding the rocks.

Dominique's Story

Here's a recent portrait I did for the American Association of Orthopedic Surgeons of a very courageous woman with an incredible story. Here's an excerpt:

One evening in San Diego, February 2011, a throng of guests walked out of a nightclub and into the balmy night. The next moment, screaming and carnage - as a taxi inexplicably veered off the street and onto the sidewalk, raking through the disbelieving crowd.

One young mother - Dominique Gambale - sustained the most serious injury. This is her story, and how an orthopaedic surgeon who had served in Iraq called on his wartime experience to make sure Dominique's leg would get another chance.

You can read the rest of Dominique's story in her own words here:
