Personal memories of isolation, urban anxieties, and moments of joy are expressed in these night portraits of young adults in San Francisco. I compress time and life memories in this series to revivify my experience. Inspired by circular design principles, the composites remix my photographic work in street, textures, abstracts, and portraits to express my cumulative and evolving perspective on the urban experience.

“My photographic work explores the stresses that impinge urban life and the natural world.” - Rusty Weston, October 2022 I've shot photos since I was a teen and had a photo published in a San Francisco newspaper before I graduated from journalism school. A content creator my entire career; in recent years, I've pursued my dream to explore fine art photography, embracing new ideas, techniques, and possibilities. I often shoot at night, particularly in urban settings such as my colorful neighborhood, San Francisco’s Mission District.
