Taiko Dynamo

by Chris Lock

During the Orange County Buddhist Church’s 60th anniversary, a young Japanese American taiko performer embodies cultural identity through the dynamic art of drumming. I chose this photograph for entry because of the visible joy on the boy’s face and the vibrant energy it conveys.

San Francisco Chinatown

by Katherine Wakamatsu

My friend and I ended up at this restaurant in Chinatown in San Francisco because he desperately needed to use the restroom. As I waited at a table, an older woman who was the only server sat down and chatted with me. We were still coming out of the pandemic, so the city was relatively empty, but the familiarity of the place and her demeanor made me feel welcome as an Asian American.
