Speaking of San Francisco, the basement continues to soar due to the expansion of IT companies over the past few years, but the city also retains its face as a cultural city with many bookstores and other businesses.
San Francisco art gallery "BOOK&JOB" will hold photo exhibitions at "TOKYO CULTUART by BEAMS" and "STREAMER COFFE COMPANY GOPPONGI" respectively.
The gallery's owner, Carson Lancaster, is a gallerist and photographer himself, born and raised in San Francisco, and a genuine localist. Carson opened "BOOK & JOB" on Geary Street to provide a place for emerging artists and contemporary art to be seen and recognized.

The Tenderloin district, where Book & Job has its gallery space, is an area that has been attracting a lot of attention in recent years with the relocation of the twitter headquarters, but it was originally known as one of San Francisco's unsafe neighborhoods and still retains a strong sense of a serious street. The area is still known as one of San Francisco's unsafe neighborhoods, and still retains a strong sense of a serious street.
The fact that Tommy Guerrero, who also has West Coast roots, and members of the MASH pisto-bike crew were on hand for the launch also shows how deeply rooted the gallery was in the community.
TOKYO CULTUART by BEAMS," which has close ties with San Francisco local, will exhibit his photographs along with those of young San Francisco photographers Daniel Valencia and Chase Newton. In addition, original goods such as T-shirts and caps commemorating the exhibition will also be on sale. Meanwhile, at "STREAMER COFFE COMPANY GOPPONGI," which Carson himself proclaims as his favorite spot, visitors will be able to enjoy Carson's landscapes and various portraits in a spacious setting with a cup of coffee in hand. A small number of photos and zines will also be available for sale at each venue.
Carson and the rest of the "BOOK & JOB" crew will be visiting Japan during the event. This will be a special opportunity to experience their creativity and the real San Francisco atmosphere.
