This is a photo journal of my odyssey from California to Catalonia. In September of 2022, after months of preparation, we picked up stakes and moved the family from the SF Bay Area to Blanes, the Gateway to the Costa Brava. I use my camera to make sense of my new surroundings. In order to survive the profound changes with my new life in an unfamiliar country, the philosophical approach of viewing the newness of it all helps me to reassemble the information and integrate it into a narrative that I can follow towards a quasi peace of mind.
