by Rink Foto

Rink Foto has photographed San Francisco since 1969. For AQ16’s theme of interiors, gardens, landscapes and music, he submitted photos of three gardens in Golden Gate Park. In the first photo below are views of the Academy of Sciences’ rooftop garden (background) and part of the garden in front of the Speckel’s Temple of Music. The second photo below is of the wooden entrance gate of the Japanese Tea Garden.

Gothic/Romantic Photographs

Dianne Kellogg is an Ohio native who married a “country boy.” She has spent the last forty-eight years in Ohio’s rural northeast snowbelt. Her photographic philosophy can be summarised as follows: “‘The best camera is the one you have with you,’ and now that the world is armed with smart phones, photography has exploded. I stop my car and pull over on a regular basis – what used to be the shot that got away is now recorded! I am always looking for great contrast, a leading line that moves the eye, balance or more exactly “off balance” and enough negative space to make it interesting.”

Photos of San Francisco
by Rink

Rink has photographed San Francisco’s LGBT community for over 44 years. His photos have been published in more than 40 books and appeared in more than a dozen films including Academy Award winners Milk, The Times of Harvey Milk and Common Threads in addition to The Castro, which won a Peabody Award.

Less well-known but just as important as his work with the LGBT community are Rink’s photographs of the landscapes and the other people that make San Francisco so distinctive.
