Here are some photos of my visit to the Angel Island Immigration Station near San Francisco. Despite the notion that it was the “Ellis Island of the West”, Angel Island was about “exclusion”, mainly for the many Chinese immigrants. The poetry carved into the walls were visual lamentations of some detained.

Even though I’m a SF Bay Area native, I still love to “play tourist” and explore the city, where everything becomes a new inspiration. I just have to remember my walking shoes for the crazy hills.

I was honored with the opportunity to photograph the wedding of a young couple–it was great fun as they were very open to my suggestions and poses.
