Geneva is an ongoing series focusing on the neighborhood at intersection of Mission and Geneva in San Francisco, told through multiple photographic formats: from wetplate collodion images on metal, glass and acrylic, to traditional silver gelatin prints, color and digital portraits and landscapes. The project is both personal essay and a document of this San Francisco neighborhood in transition. The project has been exhibited at Rayko Photo Center and SF Camerawork, and is part of a book-in-progress. For inquiries and print sales, email kariorvik@gmail.com.
