Captured in the heart of downtown San Diego, California, at night, this image highlights the balance between modern architecture and palm-lined streets. The sharp lines of the high-rises contrast with the warm light spilling from windows and street lamps, creating a clean perspective that draws the eye straight into the city’s core. It’s a clear view of urban life after dark—structured, vibrant, and alive even in stillness.

I am an amateur photographer located in Southern California. I have been in photography since 2016 to help me cope with work-related stress. In it, I find a freedom to express what the world offers me through a lens. I am the happiest when I can achieve just that. I use a Sony A7CR camera. My favorite lenses are a Sigma 70-200mm F2.8, a Sigma 60-600mm, and a 24mm. Lightroom has been my go-to software to process my pictures.
