- The red scarf against the black jacket, the blue graffiti, the warm light on the pavement. Someone pausing in the middle of the city, present and alone among all the noise and movement.

- Overcast light drained the scene to tone and silhouette. The group standing still created this perfect horizontal line, and I loved having the ship anchor everything offshore. Viña del Mar, 2024 #photography #travelphotography #blackandwhite #beach #chile #vinadelmar #coloraday #BWFri
