Born and raised in New Orleans, it wasn't until he arrived in the Bay Area in 2005 that 26 year-old photographer Josh Farria began his love affair with photography. "I started taking photos because I felt like my life was so different than it used to be, in the south," says Farria, "not to become a photographer, but to document the contrast... I learned how to take pictures on disposables, and I fell in love with film."
