Remote Fantasy

I travel by longboard, hoping to snap rare, candid photographs of San Jose, my hometown. Catch me by the neighborhoods, shopping centers, local creeks, or schools. I’ll tell you, after witnessing and documenting each site first hand, the most apparent signifier behind every location is its economic status. Homeless tents drenching bridges and freeways, graffiti posted on every street sign and pole. I catch the gritty details behind these spots, but what makes an even more powerful photograph, are the hidden joyful. My little brother, walking past a trailer park’s main road, stops to gaze at a lawn, decorated fully with the hopes and dreams of countless young children. Yet, past the frames, outside the park’s perimeter, meets the streets: sketchy, dirty, and dull. Each photograph shines a glimpse into my city’s history, where I output our stories via resonative works---currently vitalizing magazine as my medium.

A process, combining every aspect of the self, to discover significance and output understanding.
