Vantage

At the jagged edge of the continent, the Golden Gate emerges as a distant, iron thread against the sheer scale of the Pacific. These images capture the silence of the Marin Headlands, where rusted history and salt-stained cliffs stand watch over the shifting tides. Between the heavy weight of stone portals and the airy flight of sails, a quiet tension exists between the city’s pulse and the ocean’s rhythm. This is a study of the coast’s rugged periphery—a place where the horizon feels infinite and the land feels ancient. It is a glimpse of San Francisco from the outside looking in, defined by spray, stone, and steel.

Structure

From the dense, shimmering grid of the San Francisco skyline to the lonely outpost of the Point Bonita Lighthouse and the winding ribbons of coastal roads, these images highlight the enduring forms that define this meeting point of land, sea, and sky.

The Koi Consensus

In a pond where every fish has an opinion and none of them are helpful, the koi gather for their daily debate: is the leaf suspicious, is the water too dramatic today, and who exactly stirred the algae without permission? Between overthinkers, skeptics, and self-appointed philosophers, this unlikely council of fish proves one thing — even in calm waters, the drama runs deep.
