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.
Milwaukee Art Museum
The Milwaukee Art Museum, a Santiago Calatrava architectural marvel, with its sleek sail design on Lake Michigan, is breathtaking—even when the sail isn’t unfurled. Despite bright skies and limited time, I photographed the angles, balancing light and geometry for a series of shots.
Helicopter over San Diego
Photographing San Diego from a doorless helicopter is a thrilling blend of precision and perspective, offering views that no drone can match. From tight property shots to sweeping cityscapes at 9,000 feet, each flight redefines the way I see America’s Finest City.
Tribune Tower
A detailed plan can often lead to unexpected discoveries, as seen during my shoot at Tribune Tower. Despite a strict itinerary, the tower’s captivating light drew me in, leading to a portfolio-worthy shot and a newfound appreciation for the versatility of a 100mm macro lens in architectural photography.
