I See You
This mural by Skye Walker is hard to miss when you’re walking through Oceanside.
I made several photographs of it straight on, but then I walked a little farther down the street and spotted its reflection in a window across the way. That became the photograph I was really interested in.
The color version works well, but black and white changed the mood completely. Without the color competing for attention, my eye keeps coming back to the face, the window frame, and those eyes looking through the reflection.
This image was also accepted into the April 2026 exhibition.
Sometimes the better photograph appears after you think you’ve already found the shot.
