Photojournalism isn\u2019t just about f-stops and lighting. Sometimes it\u2019s about sitting on the sidewalk with someone at their lowest point, and earning their trust so they\u2019ll give you the time of day. It\u2019s about finding the untold stories in a city like San Francisco, which is combed over by reporters on the daily. And for Gabrielle Lurie<\/a>, it\u2019s about developing a craft since she was a high school student, growing up in Washington DC, and finally recognizing when she saw an intimate moment through her lens. But that last part took a while. Lurie says she spent years, misguided by her concept of \u2018art\u2019, and admits to making some big visual storytelling mistakes early on in her journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lurie and I spoke during her morning commute to work at the San Francisco Chronicle<\/a>. In our discussion, she explained how she overcame her own challenges, and why she thinks she was named POYi<\/a>\u2019s local photographer of the year three years in a row.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
