San Francisco is a weird place full of weird people. I try to capture both of those things in one image and show some of the weirdness, sadness, humor and beauty that this city has to offer.

San Francisco is a city of contradictions. It’s where technology meets poverty, where natural beauty and manmade beauty intersect. For me it’s a city with so much potential, but occasionally falls short. It’s a creative city full of creative people and a beacon of tolerance in a sea of intolerance.

Any day when I can take nice photos is a perfect day.

The natural beauty.

The homelessness

The weather. I think the first thing tourists buy when they arrive is a sweater.

Every country
