Armed robberies prompt security concerns at San Francisco photo spots

San Francisco, Calif., is considered one of the most photogenic cities in the United States. Unfortunately, the City by the Bay has received unwelcome attention as a place where photographers are the targets of thieves.

In the report below, vlogger and photographer Jefferson Graham – who himself had $6,500 worth of gear stolen while photographing in San Francisco – offers insight.
