🟩🟩🟩🟩 Storage facilities amuse me. Buildings made to hold excess somehow become minimal compositions of color, shape, and line. Everyday buildings become abstract compositions.

Do you ever pay attention to reflections? They’re so beautiful. 🧡🩷🩵💚

A Wynwood mural by @rrstudiosmiami  reflected across a Tesla windshield — color, shape, light, and perspective creating an entirely new composition.

I like bringing something into the frame, adding a layer to what’s already there. It starts to feel like a quiet collaboration with the artist or architect. 🧡💙🩵🤍. This is one of my favorite murals in Wynwood. The orange and blue pull everything together.  Mural by my talented friend @davidjunelouf 🙌

One of my favorite parts of shooting across Miami is discovering the artists and architects behind what I’m drawn to—and sometimes getting to meet them later.

I first met @slomo29 while he was painting on 79th Street in April 2022 (third image 🎨). Then I came across another of his murals in Coconut Grove in 2025 (2nd image💚), and now this complementary color composition in Wynwood in 2026. 🧡💙

Originally from Caracas, raised in Miami, and now between Miami and Barcelona, Slomo works in geometric abstraction—layering transparencies and color with spray paint. His work is influenced by Venezuelan kinetic art and the street art scene in Barcelona, which helped shape what he creates today. 

Paying attention, then learning who’s behind the work I naturally gravitate toward, has made living in Miami feel richer and more connected. It genuinely makes me happy. 🧡💙🥰💚🩷

This reflection is a Fabian Burgos mural on Brickell Ave in Miami, reflected on a Borealis Rivian R1T truck. I like how the lines bend once they hit the surface of the car and how the stripes multiply across surfaces. The composition shifts just by moving a fraction of an inch.

Ansel Adams said, “A good photograph is knowing where to stand.” Sometimes that means turning around and noticing what’s behind you.

“Zebra Question” by Shel Silverstein 🖤🤍🖤🤍

I asked the zebra
Are you black with white stripes?
Or white with black stripes?
And the zebra asked me,
Or you good with bad habits?
Or are you bad with good habits?
Are you noisy with quiet times?
Or are you quiet with noisy times?
Are you happy with some sad days?
Or are you sad with some happy days?
Are you neat with some sloppy ways?
Or are you sloppy with some neat ways?
And on and on and on and on
And on and on he went.
I’ll never ask a zebra
About stripes
Again.

This is one of those things I drove past, said “ooh” out loud, and had to pull a u-turn to go shoot it. Didn’t even get out of the car. I love angled shadows. And circles. And blue sky. And the little arrow sign was a nice surprise.
