📝 My Story

Before we even set foot on the ship, we kicked off our Royal Caribbean adventure with a splash of color in Houston! The Legendary Graffiti Building was an unexpected gem — walls bursting with creativity, color, and attitude. It was the perfect way to start the trip with a little urban exploration, and it gave us some fantastic photo ops before we set sail.

Golden hour makes the murals pop with warm tones, and overcast days help reduce harsh shadows. A wide-angle lens works great for full-wall shots, while a prime lens is perfect for detailed close-ups.
