The Silent Night: Mystical Garden and Bridge Imagery


For this specific piece, I wanted to use the same image as a previous fireflies creation. I wanted it to have a simple, zen-like effect but with the same type of enchanting colors and scene. To do this, I removed the fireflies, added in high contrast and saturation to deepen the green tones, and sharpened the photo to focus more on the details of the garden. I also added in a pastel gradient border to give it a sweet, slightly less serious edge.

Blue-Yellow Sky Vibes: Electrifying Cityscape Twilight Lights


The beauty of New York at Brooklyn Bridge Park. We waited from sunset till twilight till dusk and captured the sensational sky and changing lights of Manhattan.

I wanted to give this view an extra sparkle by enhancing the hues with high contrast, extra hints of blue, green, orange and yellow shades to make the specific details more pronounced and brighter. The result is an epic, electrifying scene that exemplifies the spirit of New York City.

New York Harbor View of Lower Manhattan Skyline


Taking New York City by storm.

A calming, scenic ferry ride from Staten Island to Manhattan is a must-see (and free!) for everyone. The views of the Statue of Liberty, Lower Manhattan region, and all the bridges connecting the boroughs together makes for a fun, interesting 15 to 20 minute ride across the waters.

Over the Edge: Layered Rocks at Warm Water Cove Park


An overcast day in the city, but a stroll towards the edge of land is still a must. I love how tranquil and beautiful this scenery is. Small, hidden gems of a park are the best for solo adventures.

Wave of Fog Sweeps Under the Bay Bridge


This is a rare and spectacular scene of the Bay Bridge! Normally the bridge is either shrouded in fog completely, the sky is partly sunny/cloudy, or it is completely clear...but this was an exception.
