Natural Bridges

About Me

originally from the opaque town of concord, nestled in the eastern san francisco bay area of california. i have also lived in the magical little town of athens, georgia, and the equally magical santa cruz, california. it is here in santa cruz where natural bridges was born, essentially. even tho i didn't live there anymore, i felt fully connected to the energy of natural bridges state beach and park. everytime i was there i got caught up in the simple, pure awesomeness of it. it made me look at my life and see that unspoken connections are everywhere, hence "natural bridges" is my attempt to make connections with people and places and bring about some sort of feeling of extended family between people who might not have even met.
