My Creative Journey Blog

In June 2016, I embarked on a journey to chronicle my daily encounters during serene strolls through Downtown Miami amid my lunch breaks, or whenever I chose to linger in the area. After a hiatus spanning more than a year, in 2017, I resolved to invigorate this photo blog, broadening its horizons to encompass the rich tapestry of visual experiences encountered in my beloved hometown of Miami, as well as captivating moments from locales spanning the globe.
