It Finally Rained | Balboa Theatre, Gaslamp Quarter

A woman with a red umbrella walks by the Balboa Theatre sign in downtown San Diego. The rain creates colorful reflections of the city lights.

The Story Behind the Photo

We've gotten very little rain in San Diego so it's great to see some rain showers for a change. Tonight I put on my raincoat and walked around downtown looking for some photo opportunities. I was hoping to get some nice reflections off the wet pavement. However, the first place I went, Spreckles Theatre, didn't have their sign lighted (I guess there were no shows tonight) so I kept going and went to Horton Plaza. I setup my tripod, tried out a few different compositions and stood in the rain for about an hour trying to get my photo just right. I have no idea who the woman is with the red umbrella. She just happened to be walking by (this is not a setup shot).

Acrylic Fine Art Print with a Float Mount — Ready to Hang

Trulife Acrylic Fine Art Print

This is a photographic print where the front has been directly adhered to a sheet of TruLife acrylic which is an ultra clear, scratch resistant, and anti-reflective glazing. 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 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 makes the print appear as if it is floating in front of the wall. No additional framing is needed. Choose this medium for a modern and minimalist presentation.

Print is signed and numbered on verso (back).

Please allow 4-6 weeks for production and delivery of your print. The prices include U.S. shipping, please inquire for international rates.
