Inspired from walks through a historic neighborhood; celebrating the vibrant gardens and compositions found in them. What started from the desire to highlight the vibrancy of a historic neighborhood became an examination of beauty in the fleeting. Homes and buildings that stand as monuments of a gilded age now aging. Remnants of an era of cattle ranch barons and wealthy aristocrats now share streets with drugstore chains and convenient stores: a postmodern experience. This duality of an evolving space to be both deteriorating and ornate is testament to the idea that what makes a place rich is the contrasts found in it.
