Can anyone recommend any San Francisco / Bay Area wedding (elopement) photographer available on short notice (for July-ish)?
Must be LGBTQ+ friendly. Any reccs will be much appreciated. Boosts definitely welcome for reach.

“I'm a cyclist in Davis and grew up in the East Bay. The
publication wants me to focus on the East Bay in my writing as other
parts of the Bay are better represented already among their other
writers. Would also like some info about biking and the environment
and about infrastructure.
“Is anyone here part of a cycling group in the East Bay, or do you know
of one, and could I interview you over the phone/email or in person if
you're in Davis? Would love to help promote and advocate for
bicycling!
Thank you,

(Edit: Just passing this along, not doing the article.) Looking for #cyclists in the #EastBay to help a reporter (Cristina) doing a cycling and climate resiliency article:
“Hi all, I'm a freelance journalist putting together a story on cycling
for climate resilience publication Knee Deep Times
(kneedeeptimes.org). They're a SF Bay Area online news site focused on
infrastructure, science, and policy that will help the SF Bay navigate
and weather climate change.
“I'm writing about cycling and ways to encourage it or make it easier
and safer through infrastructure. Have talked with a Bike East Bay
representative and got some useful info about the upcoming greenway
path from Fremont to Lake Merritt BART, but would love to hear more
perspectives, anecdotes, etc to fill my piece out into a story.
Something interesting, some kind of intriguing character who bikes or
story about someone's cycling adventures.”

Happy #PortfolioDay! I'm an artist in the San Francisco Bay Area. I love painting landscapes and nature studies. Showing my artwork in Bay Area galleries. I'm a new member of the Moraga Art Gallery. Here are four of my watercolors. My website

This morning I went #hiking in #RedwoodRegional, and got to meet a couple banana slugs and a salamander!
Oh and a wild orchid!
The next national day of action is scheduled on top of Petaluma's biggest annual festival and parade -- Butter & Eggs -- coming up on April 19th.
Should be an interesting collision!
For sfba.social folks: I'm glad to see we're in good shape financially thanks to a combination of your ko-fi donations (thank you so much!) and the work the admin team did to lower expenses.

@announcements I am a monthly donor, and I recommend all my fellow #sfba users do the same.
Who says there aren’t seasons in the Bay Area? #sfba #cherryblossum. (next up fog season).
These photos are from a hike I did a couple of days ago in Sierra Vista Open Space Reserve, in the mountains just northeast of San Jose, California. This time of year, near the end of the wet season, the hills are deep green; they'll change to golden brown by early to mid May. Now is the time to go if you're in the SF Bay Area. #hiking #photography #sfba
