Timken Museum of Art

Losing files is every photographer's worst nightmare, and I learned the hard way when my computer failed, leaving my portfolio in shambles. After recovering some of the portfolio on an old external drive, I was inspired to revisit a lost photo of Balboa Park's Timken Museum. Returning during Golden Hour, I carefully reimagined the shot, capturing the building's reflection in the koi pond and the distinct Southern California atmosphere. The experience reminded me of the importance of backups and how much I've grown creatively.
