My name is Drake Toulouse and I live in San Francisco.

I’ve discovered photography in the past few years and continue to work, develop and use it as a way of meeting (or not meeting people) in the streets that make up this city. I’ve had many enjoyable conversations with strangers, some of whom I see on a regular basis, brought together by wandering around with a camera.

Photography wasn’t my first pursuit; prior to and continuing are the many years writing and a long rewarding career as a social worker that has taken me from Chicago to Seattle and near a decade spent in San Francisco. The people I’ve met through my work and on the streets are very important to me, in the times we’ve shared as well as to my own history and narratives, and much of the work on this site is another way these narratives continue.

Have a nice day.

Drake
