Chicago River's Bright Skyscrapers by Day

Chicago River Part II: Day and night at the Chicago River. Drastically different in views and in colors...and equally astonishing. 

Clear skies, translucent reflections, and clear-cut skyscrapers make this a fun, top spot.

Aerial View of Downtown San Diego

The most relaxing city ever by the water. While flying across San Diego downtown, I captured this photo of the downtown skyline, clear blue sky, and sparkling ocean in the distance.

Magic Star Dust: Aurora and Fireflies Imagery

Fireflies Imagery Part III: A mashup of past work with aurora, stars, mountains, and fireflies all mixed together.

I looked back at my previous multimedia projects and was inspired to create one with all of the unique elements merged together. First, I chose two mountain photos and then began designing the background with a mix of a blue-green gradient. Then, I mixed in pink and white hues to the sky and sprinkled star dust all over (with a slight blur effect) to give it a nice night-time glow and a subtle aurora vibe. After adding in the fireflies art and some human aspect to the photo, I enhanced the brightness, saturation, and contrast to make the image even more striking and intriguing.

The City Contrast: Diverse Architecture and Design

The world is filled with contradictions. Cities are filled with contrasting architecture.

Case in point: this view right here in North Beach. The famous Columbus Tower and Transamerica pyramid are both unique in their own way and have very distinctive styles that set them apart from the rest. A contrast that offers a cool perspective for city locals and visitors alike.

Colors and Wonders of Walnut Creek Collage

Roamed around Walnut Creek's Broadway Plaza and was immediately enamored by the small town vibe. Small shops, spring trees, fun architecture and parks surround the downtown shopping area.
