This week, we were challenged to tell a story of a stranger in a photo. I think San Francisco is a very unique city and has a lot of different kinds of people with extremely different stories. This photo captures a stranger in the city heading into a bookstore.

Warmth
This week, we were challenged to take a photo of something that makes us feel warm. This photo is of my close friend, Sisi, and her dog, Tucker. On this day I was feeling really sad and she invited me over to her house so I wouldn’t be alone. We built a fort and spend…
