Photography: Carnaval SF 2025 &#8211; People"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m an architecture and landscape photographer, but take other kinds of photos all the time.\u00a0 On professional portfolio websites, images that aren&#8217;t &#8220;on-brand&#8221; with your specialty topics are commonly not shared, and I am pretty typical for keeping people out of my galleries.\u00a0 But it feels a little odd to me that I NEVER post photos of people here.<\/p>\n<p>My friends and loved ones value their privacy and (generally) don&#8217;t want portraits of their faces posted online.\u00a0 I respect that.\u00a0 If I am sharing photos for purposes beyond showing crowd scenes to convey the livelihood of a neighborhood or how people enjoy a place, I want to show people who are intentionally showing themselves to the public.\u00a0 Festival performers fit this bill!<\/p>\n<p>Festivals are a favorite element of local culture to me here in San Francisco.\u00a0 While we no longer have Cinco de Mayo festivals in my original home neighborhood of the Mission District, we DO have an unseasonably late Carnaval.\u00a0 It is fibrant, colorful, cross-cultural, and loads of fun.\u00a0 So I&#8217;m going to share highlights from this year&#8217;s festival, which I photographed exclusively on my phone.<\/p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n#foogallery-gallery-554 .fg-image {
