There is a calm that comes from the wind and the smell of the sea. The cries of the gulls. The waves collapsing on the rocks. There is peace in the chaos.

I arrived in San Francisco in 2018. I had just retired from the Navy after 20 years. Essentially my entire adult life had been spent in a uniform, and then POOF I am a college freshman with very little idea on how reality worked on the outside. I spent a lot of time over the past five years discovering who I am post military.  This soul searching frequently brought me back to Lands’ End. The area became inspiring and therapeutic for me. This series is my visual expression of how that journey.
