San Francisco Street Photography
Since 2014 I have roamed the streets of San Francisco (and occasionally elsewhere) taking photographs of candid public moments that I find to be amusing, absurd, uncanny, or visually striking. Many call this street photography. I call it my obsession. It’s the most difficult and most rewarding form of photography, and I’m deeply passionate about it.
None of the photographs on this site were staged or consented to. They arise from a combination of good timing, good luck, and lots of shooting.
I am the founder of StreetFoto San Francisco and a finalist in numerous international competitions, including the 2015 and 2016 Miami Street Photography Festival, the 2016 Brussels Street Photography Festival.
I sound like this.
