Portrait of a Portraitist. Visited Balboa Park in San Diego some years ago and came across this young lady offering portraits on Polaroid film. $10 bucks a shot. Had to have one! She used a Polaroid 400 Land Camera and Fuji FP100c film to make her photograph. I used a Yashica 635 and Kodak Portra 400 film to make this photograph. (My framing is a little off because I was busy smiling for her.) #polaroidlandcamera #balboapark #sandiegophotographer #portrait #mediumformatfilm

San Diego, I expected sunshine. I was not ready for everything else.

Museum of Man

I went down to Balboa Park and found a photographers Paradise. The buildings are magnificent and the architecture is out of this world beautiful.
This building was built for the 1915 Panama-American Exposition and is truly an impressive structure.
I had explored most of the park and then saw this beautiful structure looming up framed by the palm trees.

I photographed Balboa Park’s Botanical Building after dark — the repeating arches mirrored perfectly in the still pool, deep blues offset by warm illumination. The image reveals a quiet symmetry and the palms’ silhouettes against the architecture.

I offer archival fine art prints and ready-to-hang wall art. For sizes, framing click link: https://joegiacaloneart.pixels.com/featured/botanical-building-blues-balboa-park-joseph-s-giacalone.html
