About one-and-a-half hours northeast of Los Angeles, they drove into the 16-mile-long village of Wrightwood, a small, unincorporated mountain community in San Bernardino County; it has no formal government, no city hall, fire or police station. Sumner and Buford Wright obtained two-thirds of the valley from the Mormons, and Wrightwood was developed out of Sumner’s cattle ranch and apple orchard.

Searching For My Mother in Far-Off Countries (A Photographer's Journey Through Grief)

"I went on like this for a year and two months after my mother’s death. I never did fully feel, hear, or see my mother’s spirit. But I recognize that my pictures tend to capture a sense of familiarity, a feeling of home in a stranger’s smile, warmth in a Japanese Zen Garden."
