I'm moving into the next phase of my life. In the past I've been a television producer, marketing/PR director, management consultant, and caregiver. Now I'm applying some of those skills to the art field. I'm going to school to learn how to be a better artist and how to showcase other artists.
I like to travel. I divide my time between San Diego and Palm Desert.
If you want a photo for your desktop or personal use, please help yourself. If you want to blog something, I'd appreciate it if you'd ask first. If it's for commercial or nonprofit use, you can contact me via the email address and phone number below. My fees for commercial/nonprofit publication depend on reach, frequency, and size of image.
My photos have been used by L'actualité Magazine, Unie KBO Magazine, Maine Public Broadcasting, Torrey Pines State Park, San Diego Natural History Museum, Indian Wells Arts Festival, San Diego Art Journal, La Hacienda Grande B&B, and others.
You can reach me at susan (at) silvergate.us or 619-316-6022.
I'm also on on twitter at twocitygirl.
Thanks for stopping by.

Testimonials (3)

katester says:
"Susan is a photojournalist: she captures life as it happens, never thinking to stop and make it all perfect, and that is what I love about her. Catching the raw moments of life gives way to a depth of realness that you don't find in a lot of people, and that is refreshing - like a long sip of a good vodka drink in Palm Desert named after Susan herself.
[coffee dates, girls' weekends, and getting half naked in public don't hurt either]"30th April, 2007

"WHAT??? Susan doesn't have a testimonal yet?
She's a funny and fabulous woman with a truly kind nature and one hell of a strong set of shoulders and a talented eye for capturing her moments on camera so the rest of us may enjoy them."27th June, 2006
