Enchanted | Balboa Park
This is a picture of the Lily Pond in front of the Botanical Building at Balboa Park. The gorgeous structure at the end of the pond is actually two buildings, Casa de Balboa on the left and the House of Hospitality on the right connected by a columned walkway.
The Story Behind the Photo
I've always thought that Balboa Park is magical place, somewhere I could go to retreat from my problems and have my mind wander with daydreams. But I struggled with how to show that in my photography. Although the buildings here are beautiful and appear almost as if they are a part of a castle, when I came here to photograph I felt my work was missing the spirit of the place. On this day I was struggling, I walked around the pond several times and being frustrated I decided to go home without shooting. But as I was walking away, I had a brief flash of insignt, and I came back to take this picture through the balusters on the bridge.

They are signed on the front and come with a certificate of authenticity. If you have any questions about this specific image or my prints in general, please don't hesitate to contact me.
Acrylic Print with a Float Mount — Ready to Hang
This is a pigment print where the front has been directly adhered to a sheet of ultra clear, scratch resistant, and anti-reflective acrylic. This process is known as face mounting. The acrylic captures light internally and bounces it off the surface of the print resulting in a display with incredible visual depth and vibrancy. With proper lighting, the acrylic print will appear to have light emanating from the image itself. The back of the print is sealed with another layer of protective acrylic. The print comes ready to hang with hidden mounting hardware on the back that floats the print off the wall.
Please allow 4-6 weeks for production and delivery of your print. The prices include U.S. shipping, please inquire for international rates.
