Chatting it up with Jake was a highlight of my recent San Francisco invasion. I’ve followed Jake’s work for some time now and love the edge he puts on his film (ONLY) photography which transcends into his perspective on life, or maybe it’s the other way around. Regardless, catching him at MASH and meeting face to face for the first time felt like seeing a pal you haven’t seen in a while. We spent most of the time talking about film photography/processing cost in SF, southeastern culture, and the general publics disregard for respect and common courtesies. It was time well spent. I only wish I would have captured Jake in action doing what he does as a longtime SF messenger. But the lack of those photos further defines that the conversation was to good to get away from.

Make sure to follow @jake_ricker on Instagram to catch a glimpse of his day to day SF experiences using his Contax T3 / T2 AND newly acquired dream shooter, the Leica M7.

Pumped to meet face to face Jake. Keep killing it!
