Description: This photograph is actually hanging on one of my walls in my apartment.  I made this image a few years ago while walking around Chinatown.  I remember thinking to myself when I saw this person standing over this poster that the poster must have some meaning behind it (though I didn’t know much about […]

Description: There really isn’t much of a story behind this picture.  I’ve walked around the Embarcadero area in front of the Ferry Building quite a few times now, so I was looking for something new, something different to capture.  As I walked by this sign, I literally walked right by it and then decided to […]

Week: 6/52 Neighborhood: Financial District Image Title: Sign of Our Times Again, I’m struggling to get out and take pictures due to long hours at work.  I’m thinking about changing the project up a bit where I won’t restrict myself to the same neighborhood 4 weeks straight, however, at this point, I’m sticking with the […]
