SNAPSHOT is a half-hour magazine-style show that takes the KPBS viewer on a journey around the San Diego region, on assignment with professional photographer Tim Mantoani. Tim is famous for his portraits but what he loves more than anything is meeting new and interesting people. Being a professional photographer allows Tim to access a world that most of us rarely get to see. Nearly every day he explores exciting places and interacts with amazing people.
Tim has an eye for telling a story in a single frame of film but there is so much more to every subject than just that memory captured in time. Tim is excited to share his encounters, whether it’s interviewing a visionary surf board shaper or crossing the border to Tijuana to experience the unique world of Mexican wrestling. Through Tim’s trained eye and engaging personality, we can learn more about the people and places that make the San Diego area so rich with culture.

“Surfboard Shaper – Jeff McCallum” – In this episode, photographer Tim Mantoani photographs local surfboard shaper Jeff McCallum. Jeff is an artist, entrepreneur and modern day visionary in his field.
Tim investigates the rich history of shaping in San Diego that has been passed down from mentor to student, while documenting Jeff’s process of shaping and glassing a surfboard as it evolves into a rideable work of art.
