Angela Filo has chosen to turn her camera on the place where she lives. Her images explore the tremendous change Silicon Valley experienced during and after the dot.com boom. Raised in Lawrence, Kansas, Angela holds a bachelor's degree in human biology from Stanford University and a master's degree in journalism from UC Berkeley. She teaches journalism and photography at Eastside College Preparatory School in East Palo Alto, California.

Work from Angela's Silicon Valley series has been exhibited extensively, including at San Francisco Camerawork and the James Nicholson Galley. Her work is in the collection of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and will be exhibited in the fall of 2006 at the San Jose Museum of Art in a show and an accompanying book titled Suburban Escape: The Art of California Sprawl. In 2005 Angela was a finalist for the Santa Fe Prize for Photography. She has lectured on her photographs at Stanford University, UC Santa Cruz and UC Berkeley.

Angela lives in Palo Alto and continues to photograph Silicon Valley, currently focusing on an installation of 1,600 portraits of walnut and prune trees photographed at one of Silicon Valley's last remaining orchards.
