Appearing in ethereal and corporeal forms this series captures the natural phenomenon I encountered guarding the LA Skyline while exploring the urban and wild landscape of Griffith Park. The Snake Guardian emerged from the clouds at night to command the skies overhead at the Griffith Observatory. While the Raven Guardian soared overhead to greet me as I traversed the trails along the Hollywood Sign - the Griffith Observatory is visible in the foreground.
