Birdman Featured On Workbook

Lorena Arnold at Workbook introduced us to their new Production Specialist division in August of last year. This online resource combines today's technology with their 30 years of experience connecting industry professionals. Since we joined last year, we have seen a nice little increase in our national recognition.Earlier this month we received word from Lorena letting us know that our portfolio will be featured on their site! Just in time too because we recently updated our comparatives. Those show our scouting images along side the final ads. We always get comments about how cool they are and how they tell the story of what Birdman does. Once on our portfolio page, choose the "Scouting" tab to the left to check them out. We hope you have  a little time to take a look.Thank you Lorena and Workbook!

Birdman Shreds the Gnar!

This winter has brought tons of snow to the Lake Tahoe area and a heavy work load to the Birdman office. So the Birdman crew (Jason, Matt and Garrett) headed up to the mountains for a quick trip to enjoy a day of boarding. We had a great time and hope this snow sticks around for a few more months! Shred the Gnar |SH red thə når| informal expression1. to snowboard to one's fullest potential on difficult or challenging terrain.2. To go big, never stop or give up; accept the reality that anything is possible, and everything can be accomplished if you set your mind to it.

Jason, Matt and Garrett

Birdman Gives It Up For Loni!

Our dear friend Loni Weholt has been battling a rare type of cancer since July 2009.  Loni is a producer based in San Francisco and her good spirit has touched many in our industry. On Friday night the San Francisco photography community came together to celebrate Loni.  Our generous host,  Erik Almas, opened his home creating an intimate setting for us to come together, enjoy fine wines, sample delectable cheeses and admire beautiful artwork. Please visit the  "Give It Up For Loni" website created by her friends and family to learn more about the foundation. A photo booth was set up at the party with pen and paper to send messages to Loni. Take a look and enjoy the photo of the Birdman Crew!

Birdman Moves To San Rafael

Birdman has relocated their studio north over the Golden Gate to sunny San Rafael after many years in San Francisco’s SOMA neighborhood. Historic architecture elegantly meets the 21st century in our San Rafael store front office location on the city's main drag, 4th Street. The 150-year-old space was originally built as a small theater, then for many years was home to a travel agency. Most recently the location was rented by the Democratic Party and served as Marin County headquarters for the Obama Campaign. We have comfortably settled in and love our new space! If any of you are in the San Rafael area, please stop by and say hello!

BlackBird Gathering Exceeds Expectations!

Birdman Inc and The Blackwell Files would like thank all of you who attended the first BlackBird Gathering last night at the Presidio Yacht Club in Sausalito.

Getting to know the people we work with on a personal level, celebrating life and forging friendships really seemed to lift everyone’s spirits. We are truly honored that so many incredible people showed up and we consider ourselves fortunate to be part of this community.

There is no doubt we as hosts had an unforgettable night, but don’t take our word for it. Here’s what some of our friends had to say about last night’s party:

“A huge thank you to you all for creating such a wonderful event last night, what a great time had by everyone! It is so nice for the community to come together, just because, and have real connections. It means a lot. And, to finally meet certain people face-to-face... that was the biggest treat!”

“Just wanted to say thank you for such a cool and fun event! It was really great to get to see so many people all together. The venue was perfect, the tacos delicious. It was a great feeling of community.”

“WOW! What a fun night. Met a ton of very cool people, which is not surprising because you guys are the magnets! Thank you so much for including me…really fun to come out sporting a bindi.”

“Thank you all for such a great uplifting and fun party- it felt like a reunion of sorts for me and I enjoyed every minute of it.”

“What a great evening! I think that was the first time many of the folks I've met thru the biz over the last 15? years were gathered in one spot. Thanks for bringing us all together.”

“Thanks a million for gathering the SF photo community – connecting faces with names and voices - from the captain's bar to the cheese table, onward to the taco truck and the boardwalk views - altogether, the evening was a delight.”

“Thank you for hosting an amazing gathering last night. It was wonderful to see so many familiar faces and catch up in person. What a beautiful location. It was a great idea to bring people together prior to the holiday madness, too.”
