SAN FRANCISCO

San Francisco has long been one of America''s most attractive cities, "a gleaming jewel of the West Coast surrounded on three sides by water". Its hilly streets provide gorgeous glimpses of San Francisco Bay and the Golden Gate Bridge and its neighbourhoods reveal a mosaic of a city whose residents are an anthology of the world. Whether he''s photographing the street life of bustling Chinatown or gays of the Castro, the gentrifying Mission or faux-Bohemian North Beach, aerial views or interior settings, this third generation San Franciscan captures it all in this collection of photographs of the city he loves.
