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.
