Slice of Silence

Nathan Wirth is a self-learned photographer who attempts to photograph silence. For the past few years, Wirth has been studying and integrating into his work Japanese traditions of Zen, rock gardens, ma, and calligraphy— as well as the transience, impermanence, and imperfections of wabi-sabi. After living in San Francisco for the first forty-four years of his life, Wirth moved to Marin County and currently makes his living teaching English Composition at City College of San Francisco. Wirth is represented by the Great Highway Gallery in San Francisco. You can view his work at https://sliceofsilence.com/photography/
