04.  ELIZABETH ST. GARDEN HAS BEEN SAVED 

During my first visit to New York City, I spent a day exploring a local garden in Soho. It was unlike any garden I’d ever seen, and I instantly fell in love with it. Now, every time I visit the city, I make it a point to return. Recently, I learned that one of the city’s most beloved gardens will be closed to make way for new housing developments. Each time I visit, I donate because I believe that New York City needs its green spaces to thrive.

This collection of photos captures moments of nature in various parks around NYC, including Elizabeth Street Garden, Central Park, and Prospect Park (pre-fire). These spaces remind me of the importance of preserving nature within the urban landscape.


update: the garden is saved :)

05.    SHAKA BRAH

I spent 15 years of my life growing up in Southern California, specifically in San Clemente, a coastal town with a special place in my heart. While I’ve always felt a pull toward the East Coast, there’s so much to love about where I grew up.

These are the things I love about Los Angeles:
  • Vintage markets
  • Nightlife
  • Art
  • Diversity
  • Food

And these are the things I love about Orange County:
  • Skate and surf culture
  • Beautiful sights and beaches
  • Delicious food
  • Tide pools
  • School spirit

These photos capture the essence of my childhood, showcasing the raw beauty and unique energy of both San Clemente and LA in all their vibrant, contrasting aspects.
