Here’s a Sunday night post, just some warm iPhone photos that make me feel really grateful to live where I do. It’s a privilege and a blessing and I hope the gratitude never leaves my mind. • • • • • • • • • #shotoniphone #photographyiphone #ykedit #lightroomedits #sandiego #lajolla #socal #sandiegoliving #internationalgardens #mobileedit #lightroommobile #soft #warmedit #peaceful #privilege #gratitude (at La Jolla) https://www.instagram.com/p/CA4GDPAhXmF/?igshid=1l7xj1c0l1ws9

Taken on #iPhoneX edited quickly in #lightroommobile and enhanced with presets from @yk it’s something different, albeit just random pics from my walk yesterday with @dd_boles #stayhome #staysafe and #staycreative ! • • • • • • • • • #athomecreative #mobilephotographer #lightroomedits #lightroommobilepresets #yk #contrast #moodyphotography #moodyedits #shotoniphone #apple #athome #iphonephotography #lajolla (at La Jolla) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAqbwcbBeGZ/?igshid=1kixka8jxjm5u

It’s been almost 3 months in quarantine, how has your life changed? Are you working more? Less? Do you feel healthy? Do you have routines? Are you organized? I find myself asking these questions more and more frequently now that I basically have nowhere to go. And the answer to these questions is not always yes. How many times are we gonna throw the words “A new normal” around? I just want to get out there and shoot some beautiful images that make me feel proud to have an artistic outlet in my life, so I have to challenge myself more to actually pick up the camera. I guess the more public I make these frustrations the more people I have to keep me accountable! #nohashtags (at Westfield UTC) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAl1rFIhfdY/?igshid=x8iys1npnd7n

Nothin else to do out here except sit and wait, pray and work hard, and continue to do your best. I need to mess with my camera more and get my creative flow back, I want to shoot new concepts and subjects for sure. I should definitely do a photo challenge with what I have inside. This was one of my favorite edits from this shoot for sure, I just like the orange and contrasty feel.

So very weird for me to say I won’t have to go back into this place anymore. Although I didn’t really frequent it in the first place. I wasn’t really a bookworm, I wasn’t library bound 24/7 even in midterms or finals. It more just served as this iconic signifier of what was expected at UCSD. Grandiose spectacles of intellectual achievement everywhere you look. I liked college, a lot. I don’t like the idea that college is your only option. I don’t like the black and white viewpoint of my childhood that it was college or death (slightly exaggerated but is it really?). Oh well, these thought only serve as inspiration for future ideas instead of shackles from the past holding me down. There’s some kind of value in every situation, positive or negative and I hope to look back more on this some day. • • • • • • • • • • #instaucsd #ucsandiegothoughts #ucsd2020 #geisellibrary #ucsdalumni #architecture #architecturelovers #architecturalphotography #engineers #prose #thoughtoftheday #reflection #endoftheweek #lightroompresets #lightroommobile #lightroomtutorials (at UCSD Geisel Library) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-0kfjshQWp/?igshid=1iukywbl03mwh

We need smiles more than ever right now 😄 I’ve probably posted most of these but you can only post so many moody non-smiling pics on IG (there’s even a pic of me wtf) I miss being out and about taking pictures of friends!! • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • #portraits #portraits_hub #portraitsquad #friendsandfamily #portraittime #quarantineartclub #portraitphotography #portraitartist #lightroom #lightroomedits #lightroommobile #lightroompreset #lightroomedit #ykedits #ipadedit (at San Diego, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-su-RUh5M0/?igshid=xdc2ulkvmwdh

Cold or Warm? I prefer Iced Coffe 9 times out of 10, but there are days where a warm coffee or hot latte really hit the spot. This @jamescoffeeco was the best $7 I ever spent because it’s my only glass cup and I use it for everything🔥☕️ shout-out to @baileymilitar for introducing me to them almost 4 years ago (God I feel old) • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • #coffeephotography #coffeeaddiction #jamescoffeeco #jamescoffee #jamescoffeeshop #icedcoffee #productphotography #notsponsored #notsponsoredbutiwishitwas #sdcoffee #sdcoffeenetwork #sandiegocoffee #littleitalysandiego #canonphotography #canon85mmf18 #canon50mm #depthoffield #lightroomedits #lightroommobile #lightroompreset #moodygrams #moodyedits (at In My Livingroom) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-iCYKVh6DP/?igshid=14a47ng027u58

Sunday quarantine thoughts: what a tumultuous week this has been, everything from rain to panic to pandemic to quarantine. It all happened in the blink of an eye. Suddenly everyone is forced to think about not wanting to overreact but not wanting to be under prepared. Being forced to sit in front of the television or contemplate your resources for the time being.

Pictures from 6 months ago, 2 years ago, 9 months ago. It’s always fun to go back through old photos and edit with a style you’ve crafted over time. (at La Jolla) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9dU6RUhXTX/?igshid=jpegz5l5562i
