I’m so honored and flattered my photos are featured in an article about AWE and BEAUTY, on the UC Berkeley’s Greater Good Science Center website.

It all starts with a single piece of inspiration – something said or heard, a passing image from the billboard while driving into the city, or maybe a witty status update seen on Facebook. This single idea grows in your head and eventually makes it way… Read More
