Hey any east bay trans photographers out there wanna meet up?

I'm thinking of starting a photo group / zine (shoutout to @rooster) centered around slice of life photography of the trans experience in the east bay.

The idea is inspired by the group formed by Ansel Adams and friends, f/64 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_f/64) which pushed back against pictorial photography of the 20s and instead aimed to embrace photography as a medium in its own right. Their work was frequently extremely political in its use of straight photography to reproduce a scene as they see it and understand it, rather than using it to build a pictorial image. In this sense, their photography acted as a testament to the way they saw the world, in all its problems: environmental, economic, bigoted; and aimed to lay those problems bare on their film

F64.0 is the ICD-10 code for transexualism.

In short, this project f/64.0 is a photographic depiction of trans life as we see it and as we experience it, during a period where our existences are politicized and used for purposes beyond ourselves. Just as f/64 used straight photography to ground their medium in its material realities and pull it back from pictorialism, f/64.0 does the same to root trans existence and pull it back from politicization.
