Ongoing project
After the Rush documents everyday life in San Francisco through sustained observation of its public spaces. Referencing the city’s origins in the Gold Rush and its long association with ambition and labor, the project examines how movement, work, and routine continue to shape daily interactions. Photographed at street level, the images focus on unscripted moments involving residents, workers, and visitors as they move through environments shaped by commerce and tourism.
Alongside routine activity, moments of collective expression—parades, festivals, and neighborhood celebrations—appear within the same shared spaces. These gatherings are treated as part of everyday public life rather than spectacle. Through accumulation, repetition, and timing, the photographs describe how the city is used and experienced, presenting San Francisco through lived presence rather than mythology.
