My passion for photography has recently been inspired by the love I feel for my home, the Outer Sunset District in San Francisco. It is said by many and believed by most that the sun never shines here and is always hiding behind @KarlTheFog. And while at times it is windy, cold, humid and even downright muggy, for me there is no other place I'd rather live. There is a calm and simple beauty that overcomes me when wandering these grid like streets. From the abundance of native plants, the many styles of architecture, the unique small businesses that thrive here, to the diverse population who inhabit and visit this beautiful beach community, West San Francisco and its personality has captured my heart. I photograph what I witness here so outsiders can see what they are missing and locals can appreciate what they already have.
