Welcome to Random Capture

Capturing the passed-by, the under-appreciated, and the not-noticed

I'm Josh Weinberg, a San Francisco-based urban photographer. I love the energy, architecture, and details of cities, and I like that you can walk the same place over and over and still see something new each time.

My camera encourages me to get off my screens, get out the door, and it helps me notice the world around me.

I believe photography is a lifelong journey—there is always something new to learn and try, whether it is a new subject, a new technique, or just a new perspective. And while I’ve taken pictures since I was a kid, as life got busy 15 years ago, I stopped progressing and my photography became a bit aimless.

In late 2022 I picked up my camera and made a concerted effort to begin to learn and grow again. I found great teachers, classes, books, and videos, but most of all, I found time to shoot and share.

Random Capture chronicles my journey and showcases my work. I hope you will come along with me, celebrate my progress, commiserate with my frustrations, and enjoy my pictures—and maybe even share your own experiences—I love when we can learn from each other.

Some of my posts focus on my journey and others are more focused on the images themselves. If you’d like to catch up on my journey, click “My Journey” at the top of the screen, or try “Visual Journal” to see the more image-focused posts. You can also check out my gallery/portfolio at joshuaw.com.

I'm also passionate about sharing my knowledge and offer photography instruction in-person and remotely. If you are interested in learning, please read this page and reach out to me at josh@weinbergphoto.com.

Warmly,
josh
