A smidgen of Piedmont Avenue

Yesterday, I shared a few photos from Oakland and how I was surprised to find block after block of coolness. A few days later, I went back to Oakland with my friend Cindy and we discovered Piedmont Avenue. It’s fun, … Continue reading →

Not your stereotypical Oakland

Five Senses … Wednesday

Happy Wednesday, friends. I’m a few days late on Five Senses Monday, but I figure any time is a good time for reflection. I’ve been working on a lot of stuff lately. Taking and editing lots of photos of people … Continue reading →

Life lately | The weekend

Abandoned cottages and industrial art studios. Chorizo and Bloody Marys. Tempranillo and almond champagne. The San Francisco Bay and the Sierra Nevada foothills. Big cameras and trusty Hipstamatic. Skirts and cut-offs. Origami earrings and red lipstick. Clean sheets and a … Continue reading →

Getting lost in the murals
