About
-------------------------------------------------------------------
/welcome to urban apertura
urban apertura is an online photo journal of life in san francisco. san francisco is one of the greatest backdrops for urban photography and our mission is to publish the most awsomest amateur photos of the City and on occasion of the surrounding bay area too. we hope to publish a photo every day or close to it while we ramp it up.
urban apertura was started in february 2009 by chris hero (a very unprofessional but spirited photographer in san francisco) as a personal photoblog. the early entries serve as historical remains of that project. however, after sharing ideas for creating an online photo journal of the City, chris has since collaborated with several accomplished photographers to create a space for amateur photographers to publish their best captures. with the huge increase in DSLR ownership and online digital services, we thought there should be a site specifically for the san francisco amateur photography community to showcase their skills and talent.
we hope to continue to upgrade this site with new features and improved interface as we go and welcme suggestions and comments.
