Tried to work with this muted matte film look that is super popular on instagram now a days. I would always use presets of some sort to achieve this but I went ahead and learnt how to produce this effect manually. I guess its a cool look to have for certain pictures.
When I think about the innumerable adventures I had in my freshman year, this one keeps popping up as a day well spent. We discovered Chicano Park while searching for places to shoot on Jason's desktop (jasontsay.com). This sudden decision to go visit this urban "park" was one that was well worth the hassle and kind of long drive.
It's a beautiful place painted covered with murals and graffiti. Surprisingly what at first sight might seem as vandalism by druggies turns out to be pure art maintained by the city government of San Diego.
A quick tour of the neighbor is a delight for street photographers.
It's surprising that my first visit to Balboa Park was over 6 months after I moved to San Diego. This place is beautiful in terms of architecture. It was a well spent day with the squad.
PS- Definitely wanted to push the kid in the water.
