Conditions over location

When it comes to choosing a location to photograph, I always base my decision on the conditions, not the place itself. I believe that with the right conditions, almost any location can look incredible.

That’s also why I haven’t left San Francisco in nearly 5 months — I didn’t need to go anywhere else. The magic has been right at my doorstep this whole time!

The best time of the year (for photography)

I can feel it -- the weather is changing, the light is shifting, the mood is transforming. The best time of the year for photography is upon us.

The days are getting shorter, making it easier to catch both sunrise and sunset. The Sun now travels lower across the sky, creating a softer, more subtle, more beautiful light. Temperatures are finally pleasant.

Don't get me wrong, I had a terrific summer in San Francisco -- fun times filled with great photography on the streets of this beautiful city. But I am so ready to hit the road. Soon. Very, very soon.
