San Francisco- Pt 1

 Chinatown. This was shot with a Holga Lens, which I feel encompasses the "feel" of Chinatown: Gritty, funky, and utterly wonderful.

 "Grant Ave"

Living near the City By the Bay has given me many opportunities to explore it's nooks and crannies, and to enjoy it's unmatched beauty and appreciation for art. These photos are from no particular dates, they are just a few of my favorite pictures of my favorite city. 

South Lake Tahoe :)

 Goldbug Mine

 Fallen Leaf Lake

 Heavenly Mountain

 South Shore at Night

I recently traveled to South Lake Tahoe. These are some of my favorite images from the weekend. I attempted a long exposure of the lake at night, however, the light of the city severely detracted my ability to do so... The mountains and the lake make for a stunning vista, as seen from Heavenly Mountain. I found just as much beauty below ground, however, when I descended into the Goldbug Mine, near Placerville. After a harrowing mountain drive, we found ourselves at Fallen Leaf Lake, an incomparable gem set high in the Sierras. All in all a great weekend spent in California's winter wonderland.
