One of my favorite new clients is Goorin Brothers- a local hat company that is exploding all over North America. Established in 1895, it's been family-run for four generations, but only recently has it opened its own retail stores. Check out this recent piece in the Chronicle about them.

We wanted to do a project with real people- not models- that had some kind of local/ neighborhood connection. The result below is a collection of bartenders in North Beach- my favorite neighborhood in San Francisco, and the site of Goorin's flagship store in the city on Washington Square.
