SUMMER I mean Fall in SF and Captiola. -KEP
XA 2 Snaps around the bay area. Took a trip to Alcatraz, and Brother Island. 2 islands that I’ve never been to. Both places I’d recommend checking out. We went to Alcatraz on a cold, cloudy day which helps its already spooky, abandon vibe. -KEP

Had the chance to check out my friend’s new photo studio over in the soma area. He’s working on it right now, so these aren’t pictures of that space, but these are images of his friend’s space in the same hall. Walking into this studio was such a trip. As you probably are aware there is a big change going on in San Francisco. Primarily that of lower income folks being relocated on account of the cost of living. However, this building had an owner that, in his will, made it clear that the space needed to remain affordable, and solely for artists. For any creative trying to make it in a city primarily run by tech. I hope images of other artists making it through putting themselves out there will motivate you to go for it too.

Sunsets at Ocean Beach, San Francisco California sometimes look like the covers on those cardboard folders we had in the early 90s. -Arthur Alvarez

Party time Today (December 3) from 6-9 at 2708 24th street San Francisco California! I’ll have some photographs hanging in collaboration with @boreasgear , @mashsf , and a variety of other rad outdoor brands at their mission district pop up. A chunk of the proceeds are going to a local charity that gets kids out of the city and in touch with nature. So, swing by, say hi, have a beer, and support a good cause. Drinks and snacks provided.
Cheers!

More shootin from the hip on this collection of photos. Taking life as it comes. For better or worse, life comes unexpected sometimes. In the photos above with the fire we were there before the fire trucks arrived. Theres nothing else to do but take pictures documenting whats laid out in front of you. -KEP
My last roll from the Contax T2. September weather is favorable around here, and I’ve been taking full advantage. Time on the trails, and time in the water. What more could you ask for? -KEP
Sometimes, the ocean is powerful and incredibly frightening. The act of pushing yourself and overcoming that fear to ride the earth’s energy, offer’s up it’s own category of joy in the form of adrenaline. Because of this, most surfers complain about summer due to the generally more nurturing conditions. However, I recently took a friend out to learn, and was reminded of something I had almost forgotten. The silence. The relaxing flow felt from the gentle movement of the water. The blue to orange gradients in the sky as the sun fades away. What am I saying? Powerful waves are powerful, sure. But the moments in-between moments are just as powerful, if not more. -Arthur
I threw some Kodak tmax 400 into my t2 for the first time. I forgot how contrasty this film can be. It speaks the truth in photos. Its been a battle which camera I bring along with me these days, but am learning the pros and cons of each. KEP

Here’s a couple photos that I shot during the Get Rad Alley Cat. Anthony is very tall, and his hops compliment his height quite well. He took highest hop and the only rider to race brakeless.

WALLRIDE WEDNESDAY
We've ridden this popular bunker spot several times, and had never really looked at this curved wallride. The run up isn't the best, but Jeff made it work! Jeff Twin gettin all the way around this postcard spot. -KEP
