Futuristic Art Inspired by Nature: Orbital Sculpture Design

Modern art can be found at Pierpoint Lane Plaza. 

Orbital, a new contemporary art piece, is one of the highlights. It explores geometric shapes that can be found in nature and is also inspired by robots, futuristic space vehicles, and colorful origami.

Clear Blue Glass + City Water Views

This building worked wonders from this angle - I love how the glass looked, right next to the water and the ocean colors surrounding it in all directions. 

Stunning Architecture and Design at the Chase Center

The new Chase Center at Mission Bay is finally here and it has one of the most modern and unique designs ever. I especially loved this building--everything about it is so exquisite and artsy. This arena is definitely changing the look and feel of the neighborhood...and the entire aerial view of the city!

Reduced Saturation and Reversed Hues Water Effect

Most of the time, images would be enhanced the usual way--upping the brightness, contrast, and saturation to bring out more of the color of an image and to represent the true beauty of what we are seeing with the naked eye. But what happens when we do the opposite? The reverse effect also has its own spectacular, dreamy quality.

I decided to test drive it with this image of Mission Bay and the building water reflections. I reduced the saturation, contrast, and brightness, then changed up the hues so there's a bit of pink and aqua magic (my favorites) in the water. To my amazement, the picture may be darker but more of the details and surprising hints of colors in the background end up popping out more, offering a catchy glowy effect.

The Halcyon Days of Mission Bay Collage

Mission Bay is a thriving neighborhood and quickly becoming one of my favorite spots. After capturing all these calming, blue scenic images, I decided to compile everything into a collage. Adding seashells, faded circles in pastel tones, and ocean hues in the background transports us back to those carefree summer days.

The New Mission Bay: Modern Luxury and Architecture

More than 10 years ago, this district did not even exist and was just a flat land...now there's new high rises spotted all around China Basin and the surrounding area. After taking a peaceful stroll around the basin, I spotted this water reflection of the complexes nearby and had to capture this moment!
