I love to take pictures of landscapes and cityscapes. These pictures highlight the wall and towers of Old San Juan at night, the clock tower of the University of Puerto Rico Rio Piedras and an old apartment building. These pictures show the contradictions in and the complex history of the island and its people.

We are many shapes rising toward the same sky./I took this photo standing at the center of the courtyard in Casa Milà, Gaudí’s “living sculpture” in Barcelona. As the walls curved upward, they framed a shared opening to the sky — a reminder that people from different homes, cultures, and paths all look up to the same light. In this moment, I felt how architecture can express harmony- forms that are different, yet designed to belong together.

In a quiet street of Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter, colorful banners stretch across the alley like shared threads connecting neighbors, stories, and daily life. Even in narrow spaces, people find room for celebration, togetherness, and warmth. To me, harmony begins in small moments like this — where a city breathes as one. It reminded me that community doesn’t always look grand. Sometimes it’s found in small, everyday places — where people choose to share space, color, and celebration. This alley showed me how harmony can live in the ordinary corners of the world.

While heading to the site of Joan of Arc's execution to learn about her in history class, I passed the Renaissance-style Gros-Horloge. Its intricate craftsmanship moved me, so I took a photo.

I visited my friend in Istanbul, Turkey in October. We wandered winding streets with stray cats and colorful buildings, and marveled at mosques illuminated by the setting sun while walking along the Bosphorus.

In Notre Dame Cathedral, painter Monet was so moved that he created 30 works depicting it from different angles. As an art major interested in Monet's paintings, I visited them in person.

It was my last day in Barcelona so I finally visited one of Gaudi's most famous works.

These photos are from a series shot in Mexico City after hours where closed shops, quiet streets and worn facades reveal a quieter side of urban life. The images capture in-between moments when commerce pauses, dusty metal gates roll down, ruffled awnings hang quietly across storefronts and the familiar becomes unfamiliar and poetic.

Took a funicular during sunset to witness the most beautiful city view I've ever seen.

I was studying abroad alone in Beijing. The sky looked really pretty at the time and the streets weren’t that busy.

Its one of Colombia's most well preserved colonial-era towns. What struck me most was the size of the plaza, and its unevenness - marked by jagged stones making a sprained ankle far more likely than a soccer match. The lighting on the cloud-shaded mountains behind the Iglesia Parroquial de Nuestra Señora del Rosario is highly indicative of the Andean region.

This is the cityscape the Animals and people of Puerto Rico see. This the environment we must protect.

You can light up your surroundings even while going down.
