Skateboarding teaches you how to be by yourself, focusing on doing a maneuver, says Gonzalez. This lesson on solitude has profoundly influenced his photography.
He says he felt at home too especially after encountering some older Filipino men in their Navy uniforms, a reassuring reminder of his father who served in the Navy.
A lot of the work of being a photographer is planning and choosing a location, so I love spots that kind of feel like a studio but are still a real place.
Gonzalez made his way to San Francisco in his quest to become a creative-artist person and settled in the Glen Park neighborhood as a people photographer.
