Michael Addario has always had a passion for photography. He moved to California in 1987 to further his career.

It must be in his genes because his Grandfather was a photographer in Philadelphia in the 1930s and would take photographs of families having picnics in the parks. In those days cameras had the size and look of an accordion and the film was silver emulsion painted onto glass plates. Michael went to school in Philadelphia for photography. Later he assisted his former teachers when they had commerci

al photo shoots. Michael worked as an assistant for the Macy’s catalog photography studio and then with leading photographers in the Silicon Valley area. National Geographic

My very popular lightning shot has been published in National Geographic not once, but twice. Many people have asked how I was able to capture that image. It is not as hard as it looks - if nature cooperates. I shot it on film, the same way you would photograph fireworks. I stabilized the camera on a tripod, set the shutter to the B (bulb) setting, estimated the proper aperture for film and lighting conditions, and then held the shutter open until the lightning struck. This is not an endorsement to imitate this, just my experience. It is somewhat safer photographing from inside a house through an open window, but if you are reckless enough to try it, (as I was) Beware - lighting can be wildly unpredictable and deadly. It is much safer to purchase a copy of my print.

“Most of my photography is planned, others not so. I like my photography to take the viewer into the image, to let them feel the wind, smell the air, hear the sounds and the warmth of the sun as it falls on your body. To feel as if you are there." As you may have noticed on my page, I am also available for commercial and commissioned work. Please do not hesitate to call or write me with you idea(s) for any project you may have in the future or if you would like a quote to license any of my images.

"Burglary Tourism" is now a thing where South American Gangs are coming to America to surveil and rob homes. They use sophisticated methods like planting cameras in bushes which are hooked up to the homeowners WiFi account so this give them 24/7 real time feed of when the homeowners come and go. Plus they use a WiFi jammer once they plan to rob the house to knock out the security system. This has been going on Nationwide and they are also targeting Asian Business owners. In my film (link below) I cover this and how this method might have been used in the Idaho 4 case. Please watch to the end for a full understating. Thanks

50 Years ago today, June 4, 1974 Street Artists' Prop J was passed allowing Artists to show and sell their Art on the streets of San Francisco. This was after a long battle the Artists had with than Supervisor Dianne Feinstein, the Downtown Merchants, SFPD, etc. where the Artists were denied permits and consequently arrested and jailed for selling their Art. To see the Street Artists (aka Hippies) in action click the link below. https://youtu.be/wBSQRY97Xvg?feature=shared
