share the spirit and fascinating layers of this city through the words and faces of those who live here

The glorious Beth Spotswood, one of the subjects in this project.

I’m so glad you found me and would like to be part of the project. How does one go about doing that? It’s simple.

All you have to do is ask (and live in San Francisco). Most of my subjects find me and enquire… I prefer it that way.

I have to say that i live here:SF has been an amazing unfolding thing and each person I meet adds so much more to the scope and feeling. My goal for the project is to have a future show, and a book of the project that people can purchase.

Basically here’s how i live here: SF works: The only stipulation I have is that you live in San Francisco. Generally, the shoots are between 1-2 hours during daylight. Inside locations are fine but most of the shoots take place in parts of the city that you like, love or live near.

In exchange for the mutual use of your photos, mine for my project and portfolio, I will give you a disc with all of the images that you can use as you please. I just ask that you give me photo credit if you publish them. You have the right to look at all of the photos before I post them, and I will delete any in the set that you do not approve. That way I am not using any photos of you that you do not like. I hope that helps you feel more comfortable about having your picture taken.

Also, you would need to write your SF story and I will link to whatever blogs or sites you wish. I would especially appreciate referrals to people who you think would be good subjects.

Please realize that this is a purely volunteer project and I do receive many requests. I try to schedule shoots as frequently as I can, and be as accommodating as possible to your schedule, weather permitting.
