A TRIBUTE TO MY CITY
SAN BERNARDINO, CA
A poetic walk through my camera roll, tributing a city that shaped me... FOR THE BETTER.

All I hear is hate and negativity about my city,
a city that raised me.

Taught me to include
Taught me to advocate



Taught me to enjoy the small things
Taught me to embrace what life brings



Culture
Family
So called “ghetto”
Creativity



How can a city breed creativity?
Taking a canvas seemingly unfit



It allowed freedom, encouraged individuality
Its how I became me





People say it doesn’t matter where you came from
And I agree
It matters what you do with the where
If you’re striving to succeed

All I hear is hate and negativity
About my city
A city that raised me.
