Allyson’s image is from her portfolio, The Pier Project. Situated along the historic San Francisco waterfront on San Francisco Port Authority property, a dilapidated former shipbuilding complex from the late 19th and early 20th centuries has been revitalized as part of a massive adaptive reuse project. ThePier 70 complex was the location of Union Iron Works, a premier West Coast shipbuilding facility through World Wars I and II until it was shuttered several decades ago. This image shows one of the few remaining architectural components of the historic original building that have been preserved.

Nadine’s image, The Old Glass Remembers the Fallen Moon, is a multiple exposure image made through a turn-of-the-20th-century window glass, which explains the wavy/seeded feel in the image. The orange disk was shot from another piece of art and placed in the image in-camera.

The year 2020 set a record for wildfires in California. The Day the Sky Turned Orange is an image that Chris made on September 9 of that year. He wanted to document the impact of the horrendous fires that summer. That day when all turned orange, he went to the Baylands of Palo Alto. He said, “It was a sight to watch these single-engine planes fly above in the smoke-choked air. The boardwalk provided a foreground of interest.”
