Here is the second part of my Droste Series. These are my additional favorites. I enjoyed playing around with these images. Switching it up with this effect was definitely a learning experience. I will be sharing more series soon. Enjoy Part 2.

For the first series I wanted to share a style of editing I have been messing with. Recently I have been interested in the Droste effect. Aka a picture within a picture. For years I have always been into mixed media involving photography but never really dabbled with this effect. After experimenting with several different images in my hard drive, I was able to narrow down a few of my favorites. When the image does work, I really enjoy how some of the lines naturally blend together. Enjoy part 1 of the series.

When was the last time you ever stopped and took some time to just look up? Like truly stop and just stare for a second. I have always been a fan of the different perspectives you get. Most of the time it’s the same old thing or building you pass by daily. When I was younger, I was always told you can pick out a tourist if you see someone constantly starring up. I always thought how dumb that statement was because why miss taking in the new surroundings. Now a days everyone just stares down to their phones, so what’s worse? This image was taken on a recent skate trip to Santa Cruz. I have been on several trips there but this was my first time stopping at the pier. Never know what you will see these days. (Peep the fake person in the yellow sky glider.) So do yourself a favor and look around once in awhile.

Something special about linking up with the crew in SF. The energy, sights and sounds of that city is like no other. The amount of ground you can cover in an afternoon is pretty insane. I could low key write a book full of stories from living in that city, but that’s for another time. This day was a favorite because I got to show some of my LA friends the “wiggle” route to Dolores Park. Literally a zig-zag for blocks from the Panhandle to Church St. & 18th St.. A definite go to for any sunny afternoon in SF. Do yourself a favor if you’re ever in the city and make a pit stop at Dolo. Shout out to my SF family for always making trips to the city the best! Much love.

Side Note: Doesn’t this photo look like its out of Payday 2: Crimewave Edition from PlayStation? Am I right? If you don’t know what I mean, hit up Siri and ask. This image of Rudeboy (@i.n.c.rudeboy) was taken almost 1 year after the first Covid pandemic lockdown. His mask and fit are on point. A time when things were just beginning to open up and taking a vacation was still a big toss up. I love how this shot reminds me of those crazy months. A Moscow Mule and a nap will do the body wonders.
