I’m a fifth-generation San Franciscan, drawn to the everyday beauty of this city—its fog, light, and overlooked moments. What started as a casual interest in photography became something deeper when I picked up my grandfather’s 1955 Leica. Today, I primarily shoot on film to slow down, and carry a little piece of the past with me.
San Francisco, Always
Because I never left — and never will.
This project is a love letter to San Francisco — the city that raised me, and continues to surprise me.
Through years of walking its fog-soaked hills and sunlit avenues, I’ve come to appreciate not just its postcard beauty, but the quiet rhythm of daily life here — the in-between moments that make it feel like home.
Some say the city has changed or lost something along the way. But what I see through my lens is a place still full of unexpected grace.
Shot entirely on film, this work reflects the pace and patience the medium asks of me — each frame a small act of attention, of affection, and the feeling of being exactly where I’m meant to be.
This is a portrait made from presence and gratitude - a way of staying close to the place I never want to leave.
