29.5 Days 🌑🌓🌕

The moon reinvents itself every 29.5 days. Each phase of the process has a different purpose. Balanced cycles of expansion and contraction. Vision transferring from inside to out. Like seasonal change, creating a full range of energies and gravitational pulls.

These photo prints were created over the past ten years living in San Francisco. Ocean Beach is a sanctuary space, a place to release all troubles into the sand and recharge the soul. The top print was created during the first month of quarantine, during April 2020. Living across from the beach, capturing moon phases from the living room window, while slow everything down along with the lace of the world.. as if the earth’s rotational dial was turned all the way down, making moon sets over the pacific last for an eternity.

The second print was taken from the roof, while filming surfers across the dunes in 2018. The third shot was taken back in 2014, as the sun was setting over the pacific. These images came back together to reflect on a decade on the west coast, and a reminder to hold onto the importance of simplicity.. the weightless feeling of sitting on the dunes at Ocean Beach watching a full color spectrum of light fade into the ocean.
