Citysnaps is my photo blog. It’s about street photography; a very loose and informal documentary style about people in urban environments; capturing the energy and rhythm of the street.

I’m out shooting a lot. Usually solo, but many times shooting with friends as well.

I’ve met a lot of interesting people over the six or so years I’ve been snapping street pix. All are friendly and have a story to tell. Occasionally, I’ll focus on an individual and share some details of their activities and life. And from time to time share stories of some of my encounters on the street.

Most of my street pix are taken in San Francisco, a great city to shoot in. Outside of NYC, there’s no better place for street pix.

“I met the love of my life my junior year of college and began to love the way it felt to share my life with someone. I have someone by my side that pushes me to grow, truly wants the best for me and now I see myself as not only independent, but even stronger with my best friend beside me. If there is one thing that has truly helped my business more than anything, it is the understanding of love.”

“We definitely do not have a perfect relationship, but are always sharpening each other with our understanding of what love is. I find it inspiring when two people are truly in love. They show it by the way they look at each other, touch each other, and talk about each other. I have witnessed these details in every couple I have worked with, and each time I find something different and almost magical about how two people can connect. I don’t necessarily only experience this kind of love through my couples, but I see love through my family and friends.”

“It is a powerful thing we don’t always understand but I yearn to see more of it everyday. Love is what defines my life, my family, my friends and my job. I love what I do because it gives me the chance to love someone else.”

As I prepare for yet another severe snow storm (expecting 24 inches), I figure now is a great opportunity to address some the photography sites that have been sitting in my inbox.

First post

Bridge View, Baker Beach
This being a San Francisco photo blog I am require by law to start with a photo of the Golden Gate Bridge, this time as seen from Baker Beach. For those interested, part of Baker Beach, under the cliffs and nearest the bridge, is clothing optional.

The End of FogBay
I will end FogBay the way I began it, with a photo of the Golden Gate Bridge. It is remarkable to think that after its construction in 1937, many locals thought the bridge to be an eyesore. It was San Francisco photographer Ansel Adams who helped change public opinion when he announced that he felt the bridge actually enhanced the Golden Gate landscape. The story of a local photographer helping others to see the beauty of the San Francisco Bay seems a fitting way with which to conclude FogBay.

Twitter is rapidly growing as THE utility of convenience….While I’m still on the learning curve on how to use Twitter most effectively, one thing that’s really cool is my ability to connect with hundreds (probably more) of photographers and photobloggers. Here are just a few of the many Twitter submitted photo blogs I’ve recently received…Mark Birks Photography, a freelance photographer and designer from Ohio; Light and Dark Photoblog by Kevin Crafts, a web designer/photographer in Boulder, Colorado; Adam White’s Photography blog, professional photographer based in Jacksonville, FL; BagNewsNotes, a progressive blog dedicated to visual politics, the analysis of news images and the support of “concerned” photojournalism; and Manuel Guerzoni Photography, a San Francisco based photographer.
