On a recent trip home to Northern California, I decided make the attempt to capture my California – the California where I spent my childhood living and my adult hood visiting – in pictures.

The California of my childhood – in the shadow of Mount Umunhum,

 

On the edge of the Santa Teresa Hills,

With the currently shrinking Calero dam, just beyond,

Where my suburban neighborhood,

Nestled right alongside the farms and ranches of rural Nor Cal,

A place where the sky is sometimes pink,

and even during a drought or dry spell is always beautiful,

My California. The place that will always be home.
