Download Berkeley Photos For Zoom Backgrounds … and also my new Berkeley Neon book!

Berkeley Photos To Use As Zoom Virtual Backgrounds

I’m sharing photos I use for Virtual Backgrounds on my Zoom video calls. Your sure to like photos you like – Berkeleyside has published over a hundred of them. You can use them as screen savers too – most have been resized to computer monitor width and height.

Here’s the link to download your favorites.

Berkeley Neon Book

We just finished my first Berkeley photo book – Berkeley Neon

It has dozens of my favorite signs, including some (The French Hotel, LaVal’s Pizza, Spengers … ) which are now gone or dark.

Here’s where to view the book:

I’ve attended several seminars with Scott Kelby, an amazing photographer and instructor.  One of his comments really resonated with me … “The best thing you can do with your photos is to print them”. 

We took his advice to heart, and planned as a series of books for our open houses, showing what makes living in Berkeley so special.

Want a copy? Just let us know your mailing address, and we’ll send you one once we receive them from Fred Fassett at Minuteman Press.

PS

Is your school or organization having a fundraiser?  We’d be delighted to contribute photos They’re big …  12×18 or 16×16 …printed on metal, and ready to mount.
