I was born in Tucson, Arizona, and grew up frequently visiting to see my grandparents, but I had never seen the bright side of the arid city. I ventured out to Barrio Viejo on a rainy day and found an insanely inspiring neighborhood full of bright walls and desert blooms. When I spotted this bright pink Bougainvillea against the soft pink wall, I couldn't simply keep walking. I had to stop to take the portrait it begged for.
