Bay to Breakers 2016

The largest and craziest party in San Francisco once again hit the streets of San Francisco on Sunday.

And some people decided to bare all as a result.

Much to the delight of some spectators.

Although it's a race, Bay to Breakers is a crazy, costume street party for all San Franciscans to enjoy.

The crowds are overwhelming.

People share drinks (nonalcoholic of course!)

The race attracts people from all over the galaxy...

...ALL over the galaxy.

You never know what you will see...

...and that's what makes it so much fun as a photographer.

Here is a video of the scene in San Francisco on Sunday:

UC Berkeley Cal Graduation Commencement Ceremony

There is something magical about a university graduation ceremony. It was an honor to be the photographer for Cal Athletics during the 2016 undergraduate commencement ceremony at UC Berkeley.

 At the start of the ceremony, the graduates marched into Cal Memorial Stadium filling almost the whole field. Friends and family packed half the 100,000 seats in the stands. 

 Some of the top graduates, including star student-athlete Rachel Acker (center waving), were lucky enough to be on stage during the commencement.

 Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg gave an emotional keynote speech for the graduates...

...which was warmly received. 

 Some students decorated their caps with important messages.

 Each school of the university asked the students to rise and honored for their hard work...

...and many students could not contain their excitement....

...at the end of the ceremony. When they were confirmed to be graduates, hundreds of students threw their caps into the sky. 

Congrats to all the UC Berkeley undergraduates of 2016!
