I grew up in Marin County and the Golden Gate is very close to my heart. With this dramatic image, I tried to capture my emotional attachment to the bridge and what it represents to me - though man-made, it is the red heart of the stunning natural beauty of the Northern California coastline. The familiar, elegant sweep of the span is echoed in the shape of the seafoam that laps at its base. I chose sepia to represent the bridge's timelessness.
