San Francisco

2010-2012

San Francisco is a magical place to be young. The nightlife, the sex-positive culture, the urban beauty of the city, the network of friends and lovers and acquaintances you build that immensely enrich your life - these are all things to be cherished. As time goes on it's easy to fall into the trap of complaining that the city has lost its edge, when really it's you who are ten years older and can't stay out all night the way you used to. 

There’s some pathos as I look back on these photos and see friends and lovers who are no longer in my life, but it’s also a period of time to be celebrated. Let’s work to make San Francisco a welcoming place for every young person who wants to live here, so as many people as possible get to have the experiences that we once had.
