Each year starting in May and rolling into June, the Carlsbad Village coast becomes engulfed with the thick “May Gray” and “June Gloom”.

Jefferson Lights by Bryan Snyder I set up a camera just off the dip on Jefferson in the Carlsbad Village. Through a long exposure setting, I captured each car approach and enter the often surprising declivity followed by the thrashing sound of metal on asphalt . After an hour, and dozens of passing cars, I […]

It can be a sly way to announce a secret crush. Maybe it’s a harmless retaliation, and others might see a rusty chain-link fence running the perimeter of a yard under the intertwined workings of a thick canopy as an ideal canvas for some midnight shenanigans. Regardless of the reasoning, kids have been sneaking extra […]

Your eyes are never at rest. You are constantly scanning the landscape in search for balance and composition. You pick up on subtle color relationships and anticipate the perfect frame. Months blow in the wind. Years tumble down sleepy village streets. Documented muses pile high and a life time of recorded observations are shared. The […]

The streets have always been my chosen canvas beginning over a decade ago with the pasting of artwork in the streets due my inability to throw away old pieces. When pieces became outdated, or my studio became cluttered, I would use the streets as a way to avoid the extinction of a single idea much […]

Published March 6th, 2012 in art and photography. ClosedThe sound of Jeff’s leather sandals slapping against the asphalt still echoes loud as I walk the local streets of Carlsbad reminiscing of all day wanders by foot along foreign streets, through dense forest and along breathtaking beaches. While buses sped alongside, trains chugged in the distance and planes roared overhead, Jeff “The Dude” and […]
Following the solid swell that pounded the San Diego coastline during the beginning of the year, the coastline went silent resulting in many surfers looking for other forms of recreation. Charley Stevens, Eric Geiselhart and friends weren’t going to let the lack of waves keep them out of the water. The mellow winds and flat […]
Snyder plants a Photo Contest on Melrose
Published January 10th, 2012 in photography and projects. Closed5 mushroom clusters, each colored differently in Snyder’s signature drip technique, have been placed in the streets of West Hollywood on, or just off, Melrose and La Brea. Each cluster is a piece of art, but more importantly, they are muses inspiring the creative process. Each cluster posed like a model for professional and amateur […]

The Carlsbad Music Festival 2011
Published October 3rd, 2011 in events, photography and Uncategorized. ClosedJames Chute from the North County Times asked if the Carlsbad Music Festival is too cool for Carlsbad. He referenced the legendary artistic debacle of “The Bars” and suggested that the hangover once felt from the public outcry and eventual dismantling of the urban art piece might still be lingering, potentially preventing the coastal community […]
