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.
