For the past several years I have been using photography to document
the subtle but constant changes to the built environment of our cities.
As a practicing architect, my livelihood has a direct affect on how,
when, where and why our cities change, building by building, brick by
brick. Currently my focus has been on capturing the subtle beauty of
our cities as seen through the filter of nighttime and artificial lights’ impact
on our perceptions of building and space. My work has been shown at the
3rd, 4th and 5th Annual “Buy Fine
Art Before You’re 60” Photography shows, is included at SFMOMA
Artist’s Gallery and has also been published in Art of Northern
California and American Art Collector, Volume 1, and has been displayed
at numerous cafés throughout San Francisco. ToddFriedlander.com
Susanne
Friedrich
I studied Photojournalism at New England School of Photography, and after
that graphic design, oil painting, printmaking and screenprinting. All
of these media have had a profound influence on my photographic style.
I like to go to forgotten and empty places where everything that
remains or enters aquires a greater presence. I am fascinated by time
and its passage and how time leaves its mark the world
we inhabit: rocks made smooth and riverbeds carved into the earth, weathered
surfaces, weeds growing in abandoned houses. Since 2002 I have focused
on photographing with a Holga Camera. I sometimes add handcoloring to
black and white images which makes the photographs more of a hand made
thing and lends them a patina of bygone days. SanneArt.com
Hadley Grousbeck
I grew up in Boston, Palo Alto and New York in a loving but emotionally disconnected family. Instead of helping me express emotions and feel okay about having my own ideas and ways of being, my parents taught me to adopt their narrow, right-and-wrong views of myself and the world. Making art allows me to let go of intellectual judgments, explore unknowns, feel the fullness of my soul and of life. I live in Berkeley and plan to begin an arts and consciousness MFA program next Spring.

Gunning
I have been taking pictures for more than 20 years, but I have only
recently started to show my work. I am attending classes at UC Berkeley
Extension for the Certificate in Photography program for the last three
years. While I have worked in many different types of photography,
I always come back to photographing at night because of that special
quality of light you find with very long exposures. More images and

Adam
MooreThough I was surrounded by photography from an early age, in the end I came to photography relatively late in life. After obtaining liberal arts degree in History and Political Science from the University of California at Santa Cruz I began the meandering journey of a rootless BA. Upon determining that I was not going to become the Under Secretary of State for Eastern European Affairs, I gradually allowed my energies to seek new outlets. An abiding interest in both history and politics, as well as enduring visions of Peter Lorre's trial in Fritz Lang's "M", pervade my photographic vision. Photography should teach, move, and at its very best, give the willies. AdamMoore.com
Jason Mullins Born in the heart of the Midwest in 1975, Jason moved to California in the early 80's. While studying in the Napa Valley less than 4 years ago, he discovered his passion for photography. The artist works hard to master every aspect of traditional black & white photography. Honing his printing skills as he built his own darkroom, Jason continues to develop his unique artistry. Employing classic analog techniques only, Jason brings the oft-overlooked world around us into focus. Through his dedication to Black and White and the interplay of light at dusk, dawn and at times night, he interprets the world as others might never see." www.jasonamullins.com
Greta
& Manu Schnetzler Emmanuel (Manu) Schnetzler was born in Strasbourg, France where he began taking photos at age 15 when he spent his first night in a darkroom. He published his first photo a few years later and was a photography instructor at summer camps on the Côte d'Azur. Greta Schnetzler is a native of Alabama where she first studied photography and worked as a photographer for a small town newspaper. She has also studied painting and drawing at the San Francisco Art Institute. For the past seven years they have been pursuing a common vision in their collaborative photography work. Greta and Manu reside and work on Potrero Hill where they have exhibited their work with other “Hill” artists in the longstanding annual group exhibit. They have also exhibited their work in various solo exhibitions. This is their fourth year to participate in open studios. www.schnetzler.com
Karen
Schreiber
Since 1999, I have focused on fine art and documentary photography. My
photographic career has been enriched through classes at Fotovision, City
College of San Francisco, Stanford Continuing Studies, and UC Berkeley
Extension. I continue to experiment with night photography that focuses
on sense of place and the changing landscape of the Bay area.
My current documentary work involves individuals and families dealing with terminal illnesses, visual impairments, and aging. Each of these photographs stands alone as an artistic statement about the human condition, sharing universal themes of hope and healing. For examples, see www.kpsphoto.com.
Lena Tsakmaki moved to the Bay area from her native Greece in 1992. Initially she worked as a recording engineer/producer but since 1996 she is pursuing full time her lifelong interest in photography. Her format of choice is the 4x5 view camera and her interests are divided between representational and abstract/experimental photography. Her current portfolio “Empty Places” explores buildings as vehicles and acting stages of the emotional lives of the people who live and pass through them, using as a paradigm buildings in her life. www.lenatsakmaki.com
Roxanne Worthington Six years ago I fell in love with black & white photography. It became my passion, my avocation. In the last year I've changed my focus (no pun intended) to color digital photography. My work, while varied, is almost always about mood and about my experience. Sometimes that mood or experience is best captured in the glorious golden hours of early or late light, sometimes in the high contrast of midday sun and lately in the eerily lit dark hours of the night.
