Jack Dorsey wants to Square Up & I want to Catch Up

December 14, 2012 by Sonya Revell

Since I’m playing catch up with my blog, I’m going way back in the archives for this post. This is an assignment I shot for SQUARE back when I was still living in the Bay area. Square, started by Jack Dorsey, (who is better known as the founder of Twitter) is an awesome mobile payment service which utilizes a credit card reader that plugs into your smart phone or tablet…it allows small businesses (like me) or individuals to accept mobile […]

Who will be the next Mayor of Oakland?

October 13, 2010 by Sonya Revell

I hadn’t been paying very close attention to the local election campaigns until a couple of weeks ago, when I had the opportunity to photograph Oakland Mayoral candidates for the cover of the East Bay Express. The issue is on news stands now and the cover features front runners, Rebecca Kaplan, Joe Tuman, Jean Quan, and Don Perata. I photographed city councilwoman and fellow Virgo, Rebecca Kaplan, at her 40th birthday party down in Jack London Square. It was definitely […]
