Event Details

Explore San Francisco Public Library’s newest exhibition, The Continuing Story of Life on Earth: 25 Years of Hamburger Eyes, with founder and editor Ray Potes. During the gallery tour, Potes will share stories behind some of the featured pieces and insights into the creation of the photography magazine.

Founded in 2001 by Ray Potes in collaboration with his brother, David, and friend, Stefan Simikich, Hamburger Eyes has blazed a trail in documentary photo publishing and created a style that is simultaneously raw and profound. With distinct black-and-white photos that capture vignettes of everyday life, Hamburger Eyes encompasses the pendulum swing of human emotion, showcasing moments ranging from urban distress to childlike wonder. To date, Hamburger Eyes has produced over 200 titles of zines, magazines and books alongside countless exhibitions, commissions and collaborations.
