"Before the After"

Before the After” is a black & white photo taken with a Nikon film camera on the streets of Little Italy in San Diego. One of my favorite things to do while living in San Diego was to wander aimlessly and take pictures of interesting compositions that caught my eye. San Diego is home to endless beautiful scapes, yet this haphazard and juxtaposed metal and concrete got me. Before the After measures 1192 pixels x 1506 pixels.

Before the After is available now.
