Tony. Yuba County, 2022.

Tony was the first person I spoke to in Yuba County.

I would ride my father’s bike daily at sunrise and sunset, when the heat was not unbearable. One time at sunset I saw Tony looking out over a newly built suburb, still mostly under construction.

Yuba County, 2022.

It is quiet, mundane scenes like this that really grab my attention. Where normality and absurdity come together. A scene that I would never find in my own regular life, that is likely part of someone else's. Extraordinary to me and ordinary to another.

Michel on the morning he takes me to San Francisco for our final day of my visit.

As the weeks went by, I got more familiar with my father and my view of him started to shift. Where before he was like an acquaintance to me, now he was family.

Michel.

At 16, my father ran away from home for a while. In a rebellious mood, he tattooed his name on his arm.

Linda, California.
2022.

Michel went to California to meet Shari. Shortly after he moved over.

After that, my mother asked him to refrain from seeking contact with my brother and myself, at least until we had both turned 18.

Michel and Shari are still together.

Stars. Linda, California.
2022.

My second time visiting my father Michel. He had just bought a house in Linda, and was in the process of moving.

Between 12-hour shifts and six day work weeks he would come over and drop boxes in the garage.

First post on Bluesky.

I'm a photographer aiming to connect to the world around me through a lens.

I'll start it off with my graduation project: Hold On, I'm Coming Home.
