Venice Beach by Day (Jan 10) : Another week-long meeting = another afternoon of shooting. This time, Venice Beach. It wasn't SFO, but people were laid back and didn't mind a photog hanging out with them for a bit. Coming "inside the fence" to shoot a paddle-tennis game, sitting on the "front wall" during a handball game, and getting up close to skaters was all good with people. I didn't get run over by a skateboarder, but I did get hit with a handball during the game. Sometimes you have to take some risks to get the shot most people don't get... Enjoy...

Venice Beach by Night (Jan 10) : After a long day of shooting, I saw a group of a few hundred people on the beach - so I figured I'd go check it out. Turns out the Venice Beach Drum party was going on. Tons of people, tons of drums/ percussion instruments, a good amount of beer, and plenty of "medicine" made for a good time on the beach as the sun set. The crowd danced, played, smoked etc for a long time. The highlight was when a chopper flew overhead and provided some light. A bit later, some cars drove up and their headlights made it easier to shoot, so I was pretty happy. Turns out, it was the cops - party over. However, it moved to the sidewalk for the "after-party". Everyone was cool, and the shooting continued until the cops broke it up (actually, they actually tried a few times before we all left)... Enjoy...

Venice Beach Graffiti (Jan 10) : It was tough to pass up a change to shoot and meet some of the guys bombing at the wall. Although I've shot a lot of graf, I hadn't met any of the artists. It was a shockingly diverse group of guys. Hip Hop is apparently more diverse that I already though it was...

San Francisco Streets (Jun 08) : After a bunch of trips to SFO, I finally brought my camera with me. I shot just about every night between 10pm-1am (and one afternoon). I spent the whole time in Hallidie Plaza and the Powell St. subway station. I got to know a lot of the guys that I shot, and even got a few people to "pose" for me. I listed some info about them in the captions. All of them, without exception, were really nice people to meet. I also added a few photos of the "Bushman" at the end of the gallery.
