Leading Lines in Food
These are some delicious strawberries from the Los Altos farmer’s market, which was able to return this year for the first time since the pandemic! I love the dark line that traverses the photo right down the middle and how it contrasts with the bright strawberries.
Rule of Odds
I took this candid photo of my friends as we were sitting around a fire (that may have taken us an hour to figure out how to make) on the beach at night. I love how it captures how happy all of us were this night, and how the fire light reflects onto my friends’…
