One of the great delights of living in the Bay Area is getting to take little day trips up to wine country, with so many beautiful spots to visit only an hour or two north of San Francisco. These days, after having joined Reeve winery as members and also having more photo sessions again, we’ve…
This meal was two years in the making! Alex and I first made a reservation for SingleThread in fall 2019, but that was cancelled due to fires in Calistoga that weekend. We decided to wait for a future date to book the meal. Then, of course, the pandemic hit. SingleThread was actually quite agile in…
Last year, in the midst of shelter-in-place, I set out with a group of photographer friends to work on a collaborative art project titled Isolayered. As we have since returned to some version of normalcy and then gone back towards isolation again, I’m reflecting on the beauty and the difficulty of community when connection becomes…

Our neighborhood walking tours began in December 2020, borne out of pandemic restlessness and a desire to trick myself out of hibernation and into exploring my surroundings (safely) again. I researched free walking tours or assembled various articles and book chapters to make up my own background reading on various places around the San Francisco…
Elaine and Sean share a love of nature and exploring the outdoors, and they regularly go on long hikes with a nice bottle of wine in tow. After considering many possible locations for their engagement session, they set their hearts on this beautiful spot in Las Trampas Regional Wilderness Park in the East Bay. The…
February. Almost one year later, still living the pandemic life. Our Office of Accountability has new swag! Thank you for designing these, Do-Hee! A walk at Fremont Older Preserve in Cupertino. Neighborhood blossoms. Cassie and I started a weekly Chinese conversation hour to practice our Mandarin! We just talk about random stuff, or use questions…
