Hi there,
I switched to a Tumblr blog. I’ll be posting there from now on. Here’s the link: michaelshortphotography.tumblr.com

Right To Die
Christie White was diagnosed with non-Hodgkins lymphoma seven years ago and then with leukemia in 2012. She is now in partial remission after a bone marrow transplant, radiation and chemotherapy, but she says her body could not withstand such treatment in the future if the illness returns, which seems likely. To that end, Christie is the main plaintiff in a lawsuit filed in San Francisco Superior Court arguing that California’s law making it a felony to encourage or aid in a suicide, enacted in 1874, doesn’t apply to doctors of terminally ill patients whose deaths are an inevitable result of their illness. “When and if the time comes, I want to be able to gather my loved ones and meet my death with some dignity and peace of mind,” White said.
Wirz Vineyards Harvest
Covered a harvest of Riesling grapes hand picked from dry-farmed, head trained vines at Wirz Vineyards in Hollister, California back in October. These folks worked fast fast fast.
Andre Iguodala
I recently had the pleasure of meeting and photographing the Golden State Warrior’s forward/shooting guard Andre Iguodala at his home in Berkeley for the Style section of the San Francisco Chronicle. He was nice enough to take time out of his busy schedule during the hectic NBA season to meet with reporter Tony Bravo and I for an interview and photos.
Andre is launching a fashion website www.mindofai9.com, built to be a portal for all things Andre, including documenting some of his favorite looks and brands. He has two large custom designed walk-in closets in his home, one for clothing and the other dedicated to his shoe collection. I shot him in both spaces but his shoe closet was insane! The only time I’ve been around that many shoes without feet in them is in a shoe store. I don’t know how he decides which ones to wear…too many choices.
