I like Oakland on Thursday or Friday but am open to the other dates and locations. I posted a link to this thread on the LF forum so maybe others will chime in here.

Maybe APUG is dead in the SF bay area after all. Where is everyone? Does anyone want to get together for a beer and just shoot the bull a little? Some great local brew pubs everywhere it seems these days....

Or perhaps do a photo shoot one weekend together for a couple of hours? China Camp? Albany bulb for some of that weird "public art"? Bay Bridge toll plaza marsh for some neat juxtaposition of wild marsh and freeway? the closed Alameda air station for night or dusk shots? Downtown SF late in the day for shots down the streets of the sun low in the sky and long shadows? Anyone? Anyone?

I'm in for a weekend meet-up (I chimed in over on LFF also). During the week would be tough, I'll be driving from Sac.

My schedule is tight during the week until November. I work in Berkeley, though I usually travel by BART which makes side trips time consuming. Weekends are possible.

No film photogs in the Bay Area?

grahamp · Oct 28, 2016

Oh, there's plenty. Probably waiting for the rain to stop! Saturday looks possible.

I'm here, but hey the World Series is on.

I just discovered this post. I'm in the Bar Area. My friend/co-worker and I both shoot 35mm film and home develop(I got him hooked on it). I carry a film camera for street work daily in SF on lunch breaks and coffee trips, plus most weekends at farmers markets and photo walks.

Hi, I'm in the East Bay but shoot in SF often. Just joined here, so it's nice to see some other Bay Area shooters.

Just joined APUG, am SF based, always happy to go shooting with some people (or work together on prints at Harvey Milk Photo Center).

Max lisch · Aug 18, 2017

I'm based out of the east bay as well. I've been shooting mostly 4x5 for the last couple years and just started shooting 8x10. I'm part of tradition film and darkroom club at a local community college.

I'm still here, in San Rafael.

Roger Thoms · Mar 27, 2022

Still here in San Francisco, been pretty active shooting 35mm and a little bit of 8x10. I’m printing at Harvey Milk Photo Center here in the City. By this time next year I should be retired and living in Flagstaff. I will miss San Francisco but there’s plenty to photograph in Northern Arizona.

Depends on how you define the Bay Area. I think I still count now we moved to Solano County.

The SF Bay Area is roughly 1,000 sq. miles, including the water in the middle, and a population over 7.5 million. So statistically there ought to be a fair few!

Roger Thoms · Mar 27, 2022

Solano county is part of the Bay Area.

Hi another Bay Area photographer here. Welcome aboard!

5150Bronco · Mar 27, 2022

Thanks! Would be great to shoot and connect with people.

I am in the process of learning film now.

logan2z · Mar 28, 2022

Yup, still here in the South Bay.

5150Bronco · Mar 28, 2022

I am mainly in South Bay too.

Tom Taylor · Apr 17, 2022

I'm still in the East Bay.

Minolta93 · Apr 18, 2022

I'm in the South Bay, but I don't really shoot all that often.
