In The Shadow

The Bay Bridge is another structure I am particularly fond of. I started photographing it at night a few years ago and wanted to spend some time during my last trip home capturing some lasting images of it. The views of this bridge are striking when it is lit up at night. Often, The Bay Bridge lives in the shadow of the mighty Golden Gate Bridge. However, I find it to be equally symbolic and iconic to the San Francisco Bay as its sister is to the west. The eastern span of The Bay Bridge is under construction and its replacement is scheduled to open to traffic during Labor Day weekend, 2013, at an estimated 6.3 billion dollars. The new span will no doubt offer breathtaking views from Oakland when it is finished.

Keep Out

Hiking along the railroad and Willamette River in North Portland. Graffiti artists and homeless populate the area but are rarely seen, making the atmosphere ultra creepy.

Touch The Sky

There are certain places in my journeys that are special to me. Even though I leave them, they seem to never leave me. The Golden Gate Bridge has always been close to my heart and this particular spot at Crissy Field has always been my favorite. The views are magnificent in every direction and I can sit for hours just taking it all in without a trace of boredom. It is a place in which I feel connected and at peace with the universe.
