Brain Floss: Native San Francisco Photographer/Skateboarder Andrew "Ando" Caulfield

You most likely know Andrew Caulfield better by his nickname "Ando." He's been skating and photographing San Francisco his whole life, and a big chunk of that was due to his years working at the famed FTC skateshop. His photography encompasses everything from raw SF street skating to the perfect skate spots of Barcelona, celebrities and policitians, SF's unruly homeless and more from coast to coast. We caught up with Ando for a somewhat average day in the life in his hometown of SF to check out some never-been-seen gems of his work.

@2:42 Yes, San Francisco used to be full of artists and musicians. Bike couriers and Metal goddesses everywhere. Then the “Techies” moved in and most of the cool kids couldn’t afford it and had to move

[@christianmenendez5284]

Definitely gotten so much hype and "i wanna skate!" From his photos. Thanks Big Homie! Keep pointing and shooooooting!

[@mrturner1]

Ando is a one of the kind person. I seen him help people and just do things from m the kindness of his heart. He’s a true inspiration, artist and proud to call him a brother. Love you Ando!

i remember going to ando website in 2005, it was an ordinary kids (design agency) flash website, shattered piece of wood as the background image, and those double expose polaroids were on the site. used to nerd out on this stuff hard, source of true inspiration.

Man. How did I miss your stuff? I spent ten years around Reno shooting lifestyle, music, Skateboarding etc. Im a skater myself. This is the first I've come across your photos that I can remember. Anyway, the camera is silly toy in the hands of 99.9% of the world but there are a handful of people who make true art with it. Your one of them. Glad to find your photos. I moved back East 8 years ago to start farming and that's what I do now. I haven't shot a photo in 3 years or more. But this just got me stoked enough that Im gonna dust one of the cameras off and see what happens.

Shot a sequence of a backside flip I did at the sf library during a contest. The one Paul trep won.

[@mikeuptegrove]

I thought it said Brian Floss…then I saw it was Andy from FTC!!, not Brian Floss (WhoTF is BFloss?)!! Andy still holding it down in SF. I used to hang out in FTC in the early mid and latter 90s and it was either Andy or Joey in the shop. And even decades later I’d pop in and Andy was still there! Good to see some peeps just hold it down where they’re at. I think Andy has had that thick ass beard since he was a teenager! Little more gray maybe only difference. 🤙🤙🤙
