Jun Ueda is the Photo Editor for Golden Gate Xpress this Spring. He’s super excited to tackle a bunch of stories with the staff. It’s his last semester at SF State and he’s studying photojournalism with a minor in geography. In his free time he likes to rock climb, surf, and play soccer if I’m not messing around with my camera.
