Love finding new music like I do? I always love when friends of mine pass on the recommendation of new music and that is why I am telling you to go listen to some music by Tyler Matthew Smith (Facebook & Twitter). He brings together an interesting blend of Folk, R&B, and World Music to the table and his music leaves you always wanting more.

A couple of nights ago I headed to the Red Devil Lounge in San Francisco to watch Tyler play in a benefit for the Red Cross in Haiti. Not only was it a good cause for a struggling country right now, but it brought together some amazing music a good people.

As always there are a few of my favorite shots below. Enjoy!

I am happy to announce the official name of “Dan Shaw Photography”! Those who have been viewing my website will notice that there is a new domain name address “www.danshawphotography.com”.

I’ve also been working on a business card design and had them printed last week. They came in the mail today and look beautiful!

I just got back from an amazing 10 day Baltic Sea Cruise that spanned multiple countries including Sweden, Finland, Russia, Poland, Norway, and the Netherlands. Below are a few shots that I took along the way. Enjoy!

Changing of the guard in Stockholm.

Found this amazing old church door in Helsinki.

We spent 2 days in Russia, but only could take photos of a few places. This one is at a local market.

In Russian that says, “Slices Dried Green Things”.
