So I was exploring around the San Francisco Bay Area for a location to shoot a photo series for my solo show that I am having in September. I found this reservoir that supplies Marin County with water. It is a very strange and beautiful place. The reservoir is a very dead place and desolate location that is surrounded by lush trees and forest. Giant limbless trees jut out from the surface of the water like black cathedral spires. The edges of the lake are lined with dead branches and burned out carcasses of trees. The water is below the its normal water line leaving a border surrounding the lake were no trees grow, leaving only grass. As the water level rises quickly during these winter months, the water envelops the grass growing on the shore. You can see them below the surface of the water caught in some sort of ghostly stasis. All in all a very strange place. I've posted a few photos of the area to give you an idea of what is looks like.
