and i was specializing in chinese american history. i want to cover what's happening in chinatown. what's happening in my community. i shoot a lot of government officials. i probably have thousands of photos of mayor lee and all the dignitaries. but they treat me like one of the family members time. they appreciate me. even the localcops the firemen, you know i feel at home. i was born in chinese hospital 1954 dirt poor. our family was lucky to grew up. when i was in junior high, i had a degree in hotel management restaurant. i was working in the restaurant business for probably about 15 years. i started when i was 12 years old. when i got married, my wife had an import business.

i figured, the restaurant business i got tired of it. i said come work for the family business. okay. it's going to be interesting i lasted for 30 years. i'm married i have one daughter. she's a registered nurse. she lives in los angeles now. and two grandsons. we have fun. i got into photography when i was in junior and high school. shooting cameras. days i was able tfilm. i wasn't really that good because you know color film and processing was expensive and i kind of left i alone for about 30 years. i was doing product photography for advertising. and kind of got back into it. everybody said oh, digital photography, the year 2000.

it was a ghost town in chinatown. i figured it's time to shoot chinatown store fron on grand avenue. there was not a soul out !jwalking around chinatown. a new asia restaurant it used to be the biggest restaurant in chinatown. it can hold about a 1,000 people and i had been shooting events there for many years. ln turned into a supermarket. and i got in. i ssupermarket. you know transformation. even the the restaurant the restaurant it's 50 years old. i said yeah. it looks awful. history. because i'm shooting history.

and it's history because you can't repeat. it's gone it's gone. her, she'll teach you everythi that's going to be the generation. i think cellphones in the next two, three years, the big cameras are obsolete already. mirrorless camera is going to and the cellphone is goinge# to be better. but nobody's going to archive it nobody's going to keep good history. everybody's going to take snapshots, but nobody's going to catalog. they don't care. >> i want t you. >> it's not a keepsake. there's no memories behind it. everybody's sticking in the cloud. they lose it who cares. but, you know i 2020 i stroke and

i'm a community e story. >> when you're not looking, frank's there. he'll snap that and then he'll send me an e-mail or two and they're always the best. >> these are all my p a city like no other, san francisco has been a beacon of hope and an ally towards lgbtq equal rights. [♪]

>> known as the gay capital of america, san francisco has been at the forefront rights for decades becoming a bedrock for the historical firsts. the first city with the first open bar. the first pride parade. the first city to legalize gay marriage.e first place of the iconic gay pride flag.elp cancel policy programses, and inpport trans and lgbtq communities in san francisco. >> we've created an opportunity to have a seat at the table. where trans can be part of city government and create more engagement through our trans advisory committeee and the mayor's office. we've also worked to

across services to see where we can a things like housing and homelessness, low income cess to small businesses and emg employment and education. so we really worked across the board as well as meeting overall policies. >> among the priorities the office of transgender initiatives also works locally to track lgbtq across the country. >> especially our young trans kids and so we do a lot of work to make sure we're addressing and@- naming those anti-trans policies and doing what we can to >> trans communities often have not been included at the levels at really any level whether that's local government state government. we've always had to fend for ourselves and figure out how to care for our own communities. so an office like this can really show and become a model

for the country on how to really help make sureentire community is served by the city and that we all get opportunities to participate becausehe end, o entire community is stronger. >> the pandemic underscored many of the equities they experienced on a daily basis. nonetheless, this health crisis also highlighted the strength in the lgbtq and trans community. >> several of our team members were deployed as part of the work at the covid command center and they did k there both in terms of navigation and shelter-in-place hotels to other team members who led equity and lgbtq inclusion work to make sure we hpop-up testing and information sites across the city as well as making sure that data collection was happening. we had statewide legislation that required that we collected

information on sexual orientation and our team worked so closely with d.p.h. to make sure those questions were included at testing site but also throu the whole network of care. part of the work i've had a privilege to be apart of was to work with o.t.i. and a community organization to work coalition that met monthly to make sure we worked together and coordinated as much as we could to lgbtq communities in the city. >> partnering with community organizations is key to the success of this office ensuring lgbtq and gender nonconforming people have access to a wide range of services and places to go where they will be respected. o.t.i.'s trans committed to being that voice. >> the transgender advisory counsel is a group of amazing community leaders here in san francisco. i think we all come from all walks of life, very diverse different backgrnds, different expertises and i

think it's just an amazing group of people that have a vision to make san francisco a true liberated city for ender folks. >> being apart of the group allows us to provide more information on the ground. we're allowed to get. and prior to the pandemic, there's always been an issue around language barriers and education access and workforce development. now, of course the city has been more invested in to make sure our community is thriving and making sure we are mobilizing. >> all of the supervisors along with mayor london breed know that there's still a lot to be done and like i said before i'm just so happy to live in

city where they see trans folks of human beings and know that we deserve and respect just like everybody else. >> being part of the trans initiative has been just a great privilege for me and i feel so lucky to have been able to serve for it for so far over three years. it's the only office of its kind think it's a big opportunity for us to show the country or the world about things we can do when we really put a focus on transgender issues and transgender communities. and when you put transgender people in leadership positions. >> thank you claire. and i just want to say to claire farly who is the leader of the office of transgender initiatives, she has really taken that role to other level and is currently a grand marshal for this s.f. prize. so congratulations claire. >> my dream is to really look at where we want san francisco to be in the future. how can we have a place where

quality, and inclusion, and equity across san francisco? and so when i look five years from now, tenrs from now, i want us to make sure that we're lead the country in being the best that we can be. not only are we sure we have jobs and equal opportunity and pathways to education, employment, and advancement, but we're making sure we're taking care of our most impacted communities, our trans communities of color, trans women of color and black trans women. and we're making sure we're addressing the barriers of the access to health care and mental health services and weour seniors who've done the work and really be able to age in place and have access to the services and resources they deserve. so t do but we're really proud of the work that we've done so far.
