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

Switch it up once again. I’m pretty set on doing all types of photography, I’m not JUST a portrait photographer, not JUST a landscape or architectural photographer, I’m JUST a photographer. At the end of the day I get to decide what form that takes! Fellow Picture people, what’s your favorite type of photography to shoot? WHO’S CAR IS NEXT? • • Beautiful Mercedes #AMG I caught in the #instaucsd parking lot. It’s a sexy car, just a little out of my pay grade 😟 • • • • • • • • • • #carsofinstagram #autophotography #supercars #mercedesbenz #mercedesamg #mercedesamg #ucsdcars #lajollacars #sandiegomercedes #amggtr #canon77d @mercedesbenz @mercedesamg (at UCSD - University of California San Diego) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9AUpqwhXTt/?igshid=9tj0asfppm7b

Met a real life American Hero the other Day. This is 95 year old Frank, WW2 Veteran of the 101st Airborne division, a group largely influential in the infamous Battle of the Bulge. He was so full of life and told me all about his four sons and his eight grandkids and how on Wednesday’s he goes swing dancing downtown. He was on campus to attend an astrophysics lecture on super massive black holes. It doesn’t get more unique than this folks, I can’t make this up 😂Thank you for your service sir! • • • • • • • • • • • • • #instaucsd #ww2veteran #veteran #usarmy #101stairborne #militaryvet #portrait #portrait_vision #portrait_star #ucsd #shotoniphone #mobilephotography #photographyiphone #lightroomedits #lightroommobile #battleofthebuldge (at University City, San Diego) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8Up_FlhFc-/?igshid=dh0betqwvmaw

The Muir College Parking Lot construction has been going on for almost 2 years now. Most of us have just gotten used to it, the constant noise, the looming shadows, the smells, the parking spots (RIP) . I pass by this almost every day I have class and am always fascinated by the progress of the work and how intricate the building process is. Hopefully these construction projects are effective in pouring back into students instead of catering to outside money and corporations. Just a thought. • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • #construction #ucsd #instaucsd #ucsandiego #teachingandlearningcommons #muircollege #canonphotography #canon77d #canon77d📸 #Lightroom #moodedits #tones #splittone #lightroompresets #lightroommobile #ucsdtritons @ucsd_commons @ucsandiego (at UCSD - University of California San Diego) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8PNFWrBNzP/?igshid=1c7vsi1iydinc

Some of my favorite portraits. It’s crazy how much lighting makes a difference in image quality, specifically #diffused lighting and open windows! • • • • • • • • • • • • #portraitphotography #portraits_life #instaucsd #portrait_vision #moodyports #coffeeshop #diffusedlight #canonportrait #aestheticedits #lightroom_ig #lightroommobile #neanderthalmusic #localartist #ucsd #sandiego (at Muir Woods Coffee House) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7r1N34hczW/?igshid=17e7vrt1ah6tw
