Jean Quan kicked off her start as the first woman and the first Asian-American mayor of Oakland with a big party at Chabot Science Center. Photographer Ken Katz was on hand to take these snaps of Quan, all the youth groups that performed and happy supporters out for the big night.

Ken Katz's wife was driving by when she saw a big accident. She went home and told Ken, who came over on his bike to take some photos.
