From today’s car show in Chinatown! God I felt so good being in the thick of things after so long and also doing hard core street shots after couple months of photographing quieter scenes in the fog. Swipe through for the whole set and let me know your favorite shot - did you get to go see it today?? As usual I didn’t want to focus too much just on the cars and more on the scenes around it.

The last of the foggy nights from my part of town. Moving to a foggy neighborhood completely changed my photography, as someone who used to love shooting later afternoon or golden hour, I’m now growing more and more fond of shooting the interplay of light and fog. I have to be honest though, I miss the liveliness of north beach and Chinatown, I miss the sun shining into my home almost throughout the year and just the familiarity of things, and maybe I will continue to miss it. But I’m also slowly finding peace and beauty where I am now and okay with being a bit inward. I do want to get out a lot more and September and October and make most of the nicer weather to shoot more. But I have definitely been staying put this side of the city and leaving the house later than I used to because I have started enjoying photographing the foggy landscapes and the moodiness that adds to the photos.

Swipe right and tell me your favorite shot and also tell me what did you do to feel more at home once you shifted neighborhoods? I will really appreciate it.

POV: you hire me to take your anniversary photos 🥹❤️

Unlike the more popular choice (baker beach) these two chose ocean beach to commemorate their wedding anniversary and we got so lucky that too mid July! I was so convinced it’s going to be fully foggy but we got the most beautiful sunset full of colors and a warm day to have a comfortable shoot on the beach. Shot no 4 is my favorite with the surfer in it, swipe to see the whole set and let me know your favorite.

Late night scenes from the sunset. It’s been an incredible fog season for me from a photography standpoint. Can’t say the same for my mood though! I really need the sunny days now. It’s a strange dichotomy. I love it hate it and also would 100% not choose to endure the Bay Area heat. Which photo is your favorite?

These three photos have made it to the exhibit : Community in Transit happening next month at the Bay Area Metro Center. The exhibition is open for viewing sept 8-30 at 375 Beale st in San Francisco. I started focusing more on shooting public transit this year and it’s so nice to be recognized for my work and for it to be displayed in an exhibit! If you’d like to come to the opening night where I’ll be speaking on a panel as well and there will also be unique transit merch - there’s a link in my bio with the invite for the opening night :) hope to see you there!!

Could be an album cover, what do you guys think?

Shot earlier today in search of the full moon! The fog had settled in and I didn’t get to see it.
