BLOSSOM

Cherry blossoms are a staple symbol representing many things - the transition from winter to spring, a transformation, growth, and the delicacy of life. The trees in Portland, which were a gift from Japan for the dedication of the Japanese American Historical Plaza in 1990, create a serene, poetic backdrop in this transitional moment at the end of a historic year. I invited fellow Portlanders to join me for a full day of experimental micro portrait sessions to capture anything they wanted. The beautiful results are nothing short of a spectacle.

Hey there 👋🏼
I was only half-joking when I asked #portland to be my valentine.

I am entering one of the loneliest periods in my life.
