"bio": "• I write and edit stories about how Silicon Valley power and policies shape everyday life in California. I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

Founded in 2008 by Juan Carlos Araujo and Jennifer Ahn, Empire Seven and its gallery Empire Seven Studios take art into public places, creating new murals inspired by the city’s past, present and future. For them, community revitalization and beautification happens from the ground up, working with shop owners block-by-block throughout the neighborhood. Though their work is beloved by the public, street artists and muralists are no strangers to having their work defaced.

And then there’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/rastadave52/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@RastaDave52\u003c/a>, whose images of San Francisco’s hoods are far more attractive than the played-out shots of cable cars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.instagram.com/p/BZypkDajso7/?taken-by=rastadave52\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the primary goals of the affiliated accounts is to simply document humans in their natural course of action — and do so as artistically as Instagram will allow. Given that lens on life (pun intended), I started paying more attention to other photographers who do an awesome job at simply documenting this thing we call existence — especially the photographers who don’t have a billion followers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Recently, I even asked a few of them about their art.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I talked to \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/rian_dundon/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@Rian_dundon\u003c/a>, who says, “I make photos for myself. It’s the best way I’ve found for compartmentalizing the disorder of existence — and a reminder that I’m in control of none of it.” In a similar stance, \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/chali_aesthetics/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@Chali_aesthetics\u003c/a> says photography helps him combat depression and PTSD. During a therapy session he was asked what he appreciates, and “all I could come up with was flowers and sunsets,” he says. “So, the therapist told me to capture that.” Beyond nature, he captures his environment, from the hood in San Francisco’s Double Rock to North Oakland’s Ice City. I love it all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.instagram.com/p/BaMFMsJFDkt/?taken-by=chali_aesthetics\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s another photographer who goes by the handle \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/amandasade/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@Amandasade\u003c/a>. I love how she practices her craft in the traditional sense, by regularly going on photo walks and documenting what’s happening at the golden hour — a window to what it’s like to be a human on any given day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Amanda, who has never been “published,” tells me, “You know what’s crazy beautiful? I get most of my IG compliments in person!

He too uses Instagram as a catharsis, as well as a portfolio of his work. He’s split on whether or not Instagram is helping or hindering the photography industry, he tells me.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.instagram.com/p/BJi8sYYD6DC/?taken-by=dexwill87\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Former college classmate \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/forrestloew/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@Forrestloew\u003c/a>, who isn’t Bay Area-based but has frequented the terrain, seems to believe that Instagram isn’t hurting the photography industry. “Almost all of my paid gigs come from IG,” he told me. He says he’s definitely not concerned with the amount of followers either: “I think it’s the Who, and even more important, the engagement. Are people actually feeling my posts or not? The right people following and engaging with my posts are going to end up on more of the right people’s feeds.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That same thought about valuing \u003cem>who\u003c/em> follows you, and not being concerned with the amount of followers you have, is shared by a former coworker of mine who goes by \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/eugevon/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@Eugevon\u003c/a>. He photographs everything from broad landscapes to microscopic shots of food, and I had no idea when we working together that he was such an intricate photographer; really glad I found his Instagram account.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.instagram.com/p/BZ9mMuNAP95/?taken-by=eugevon\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The last person I talked to about Instagram and photography was my mentee, \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/__mmbrvce/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@__Mmbrvce\u003c/a>.

Na, it’s for socialites. It’s a popularity pool, a high school hallway, an echo chamber where artistic images captured by talented photographers get overshadowed by selfies taken by a half-naked people in bathrooms, who caption their picture with words that would make Aristotle claim plagiarism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of the 100 most-followed Instagram accounts, there are entertainers, athletes, a couple brands, and a few media outlets. But there isn’t one single individual photographer in the top 100 Instagram accounts; further evidence that this is an image-driven popularity contest. Because of that, true photographers don’t get the exposure (no pun intended) they deserve.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">Instagram isn’t made for photographers.

Given that lens on life (pun intended), I started paying more attention to other photographers who do an awesome job at simply documenting this thing we call existence — especially the photographers who don’t have a billion followers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Recently, I even asked a few of them about their art.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I talked to \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/rian_dundon/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@Rian_dundon\u003c/a>, who says, “I make photos for myself. It’s the best way I’ve found for compartmentalizing the disorder of existence — and a reminder that I’m in control of none of it.” In a similar stance, \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/chali_aesthetics/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@Chali_aesthetics\u003c/a> says photography helps him combat depression and PTSD. During a therapy session he was asked what he appreciates, and “all I could come up with was flowers and sunsets,” he says. “So, the therapist told me to capture that.” Beyond nature, he captures his environment, from the hood in San Francisco’s Double Rock to North Oakland’s Ice City.

In a lavender room, a computer program culls through Instagram for images hashtagged #selfie, thermal printing one image every 12 seconds on a roll of lavender paper. The self-portraits litter the floor, leaving you no other option but to step on strangers’ faces. Visitors to Color Factory can jump to the front of the printing queue by tagging their photo #TomStayte — feeding the artist’s social media presence with their own desire to get a printed souvenir.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another thing Color Factory isn’t: purely visual stimulation. Instagram doesn’t quite capture the full range of sensory experiences here. There are things to taste: color-coordinated macaroons that arrive on a spinning tabletop, charcoal lemonade and banana-flavored soft-serve. Things to smell: hundreds of rubbery balloons and a wall of scratch-and-sniff stickers, their scents ranging from lovely to repulsive. Things to hear: silver-themed songs in the “disco room,” giggles emerging from Dahlgren’s dense cube of hanging ribbons.

Things to smell: hundreds of rubbery balloons and a wall of scratch-and-sniff stickers, their scents ranging from lovely to repulsive. Things to hear: silver-themed songs in the “disco room,” giggles emerging from Dahlgren’s dense cube of hanging ribbons.
