Captured in the bustling streets of Hanoi’s market district, a mother expertly navigates her scooter through the crowd, carrying her two young daughters in perfect balance. The warm, moody tones and shallow depth of field draw you into their silent bond and the everyday poetry of life on the move. Shot on a mirrorless camera with a fast prime lens to freeze subtle gestures and rich textures, this frame celebrates resilience, trust, and the simple beauty of family in motion.

Set against the sharp, modernist lines of the Unitarian Universalist Church of San Francisco, this contemplative garden scene features a powerful stone sculpture of a seated adult with two children—one in their lap, the other at their side. Carved in a softly textured, almost primitive style, the sculpture evokes themes of care, protection, and intergenerational strength, echoing the social justice mission of the church it fronts.
The building behind it—a geometric blend of concrete and shingled pyramidal roofs—stands in contrast to the organic warmth of the sculpture. Its Brutalist influence is softened by natural light filtering through clerestory windows just beneath the peak, and by the surrounding garden that adds a splash of color and wildness to the structured setting.
This juxtaposition of materials—concrete, stone, and grass—creates a visually arresting composition, especially in early morning or late afternoon light. The sculpture’s placement within a fenced patch of lawn and winter-bare trees enhances its sense of solitude and reflection. A squirrel perched atop the figure’s head lends an unexpected moment of delight, grounding this symbol of humanity firmly in the present.
Part of the Unitarian Universalist Church at 1187 Franklin Street, this scene is quietly emblematic of the institution’s values: inclusion, compassion, and community. Whether you’re photographing modern religious architecture or moments of human connection rendered in stone, this corner of Cathedral Hill offers both.
i stood below as three dark figures crossed the sky like notes on a staff, drawn by a hand i couldn’t see.
the city fell away. the world reduced itself to line, contrast, and a quiet sense of motion.
in that moment, it felt like the weight of the day — the push, the pull, the climb — had been distilled into a single curve of steel.
nothing left but forward.
This tombstone in Forest Lawn Cemetery absolutely fascinates me.
