Kollaboration SF 2010

On Saturday, I had the privilege of shooting Kollaboration San Francisco at the Palace of Fine Arts. Kollaboration is an Asian and Pacific Islander movement that has been hosting shows all over the United States for the past 10 years. This is San Francisco’s first, and it was a sold out crowd of 1000, with musicians, comics, dancers, and performers from all over the United States. Here are some of the pictures from that amazing evening!

Kollaboration SF 2010 staff. Without this amazing crew and the volunteers, the show would not have been possible.

Artistry « You, Me, and Everyone Else - [...] Last weekend we had about six photographers roaming around backstage during the Kollaboration San Francisco show.   And while they were all excellent photographers, one in particular stood out to me.  His pictures set him apart in terms of technique, resolution, color contrast, and so much more.  By far, he was the best photographer there and his work speaks for itself.  It turns out, he is a professional wedding photographer who somehow heard of our little movement and decided to volunteer his time and efforts into helping us capture our first show in the most beautiful way possible.  You can see the Kollaboration show pictures here: http://www.junshien.com/2725/kollaboration-sf-2010/ [...]
