I understand maps - at least of places I’m more familiar with - as layers of experiences spatially oriented. This one is not a literal representation (because I’m not a city planner or an architect or a realist artist). Think of it as a really rough…

These are things I saw, and some questions that amused me as I walked to the Research Center each morning. It was very pleasant!

This map depicts the places I see, eat in and work at five days a week. Unsurprisingly it is not to scale or representative of all this great little neighborhood has to offer. I appear to have taken greatest note of where I may procure my next meal,…

The placement of the Presidio photograph on the inside of the California State Parks pamphlet inspired me to use it as a canvas for my mental map. As a scholar, I wanted my map to reflect how I visualize the Presidio neighborhood and how I would…
