  « The Urban World Through My Right Eye

(Photographer Photos)

Welcome to San Pedro, California San Pedro is an amazing city. I hope my images can back that up. As this gallery grows my goal is to convince some of you out there that San Pedro is truly a unique and beautiful place, with many different faces. The culture and history within this city make it like no other.

An Evening Walk Down the Pedro Waterfront

An Evening Walk Down the Pedro Waterfront

This is a new area of development in San Pedro. It allows you to get really close to the Vincent Thomas Bridge. During a short walk just to check it out, I snapped some shots of these palm tress and just had fun trying to play with the lights that were around. Next time I want to bring my tripod and get up close to the bridge.

What's not pretty in Pedro, can still be pretty to some. It all depends on how you look at it.
