The "legacy archive" is a series of black and white film photographs. Since March 2023 I've had an intense and persistent focus on 4 by 8 square blocks within Downtown Oakland, California. My intention is to offer more awareness and energy to the city center and transit hub of the city I've called home for the past 17 years. My work is a collection of all of the moments that inspired me to action. An open love letter to the people that occupy these streets, sidewalks and buildings.
