MY ESSAY — in words and pictures — about what it means to be a Californian is now up at Boom California.

At the edge of it
I have been thinking more and more of late about how being both an inheritor and a native of a place, shapes the way you see and move through territory as well as how you understand your place within it.

Keepsakes and Souvenirs
I want to thank especially my former SF roommate, Shelley, for spending endless hours with me roaming around our old spaces and chasing vanished addresses in the Bay Area. I can do that for hours and hours. I do a fair amount of this roaming on my own when I’m here in Los Angeles but it was great to have a second set of eyes and someone with whom to bounce ideas back and forth.
California, I do love you, but I have to wonder sometimes if you’re moving faster than I am.

AWESOME. Can’t wait to read this today. I went to the BOOM site and it looks like they are using one of your shots as their cover/ top banner photo? I think?
That’s great. It’s the one from our trip to the outer Sunset, I believe!
