Walking has always played an important role in my life. Growing up on the outskirts of town, allowed me to feel free to roam the countryside, observing the vibrant colors, sounds and evolving textures of the environment. When I moved to the Bay Area, I found myself returning to this youthful spirit of traveling by foot and I began observing the landscape again, paying particular attention to the mundane details of the urban terrain that most people pass by without thinking twice about.
