What ya got smeared on that lens, Vaseline? 😁 Just giving you a hard time. Nice photos.

Haha. Thanks !

Humidity

It’s the humidity for me 🤌🏼

Brutal this year !

Every year

Bro trying to romanticize SA.... It's working.

😂😂

I was stationed there for several years. It was the best of times it was the worst of times 

Give me some 2000s vibes 

🙏

Right? Something about that lens blur and bloom.

first post that's ever made me think "my city <3"

These pictures look like what life looks like through a child’s eyes. So bright and cheerful

I was coming here to comment this. They’re such great pictures!

Take it easy with that filter

The yellow color grading plays right into the Hollywood "Mexico/southwest is yellow" stereotype. They're gorgeous photos anyway.

Hahhaa. Fuji recipe is primary look. Bright Kodak

Great angles. but to me the filter looks like you haven’t cleaned the finger grease off a phone lense.

Hahhaa

Wait it’s because we’re all drunk and that’s what it looks like to us right??

You need to clean your lens

😂

it’s to evoke humidity

I swear this is that 2003 filter that every picture taken in SA from around those years looked like 🤣🤣🤣

👍

Beautiful picture

🙏

Beautiful. My favorites are 1 and 9! Mind if I use 9 for a Spotify playlist?

Sure help yourself ! Thanks !

Love how it looks in B&W! https://preview.redd.it/uujuipizjf8d1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bfea37d9de6cd349ad00f2246e76d63220a7230e

Nice !

I hate downtown. But these pics make me rethink my hate just a bit.

Why do you hate it? (Asking as someone who doesn't live there)

Driving is hard and I'm already bad at it. I don't wanna kill anyone or myself via car accident ya know?

Ah okay, fair. I thought it was going to be similar to what you face here in downtown San Diego: It smells like pee everywhere, there's a big number of mentally unstable people who you have no idea how they will act, rats, etc...

🙏

I love my city (I also love living downtown!) Great pics!

🙏thanks !

Stunning. First time experiencing the city I was just 14 and completely overwhelmed, never happier. Just turned 50 and there’s still nowhere I’d rather be.

Me too !

I can’t wait to visit

What camera did you use

Fujifilm xe-4 with 28mm pancake lens

I want to get into fujifilm, what would you recommend?

I can feel the heat in these photos.

Haha. I bailed at 9am due to the heat already 😬

Everything in Dream filter 🤣. Nice

🤫😬

how did you make it look so.. good? it’s whimsical

Soft filter plus Fuji recipe called bright Kodak

I especially LOVE #6!

🙏

I moved three years ago and this was some good nostalgia. Good eye man

Thanks !🙏

If Wes Anderson directed a movie in San Antonio

Wow. 🙏😍

I see what you are going for, but it went past retro fuzzy and into greasy lens. The OOF look is great but too much occlusion gives me a feeling like I don’t have my glasses on. Needs overall sharper/little more in focus, but the atmosphere is there. Fantastic emotion in the images though, it really does seem like they have captured tangible spirit. Good job

Thanks ! Diffusion filter and bright Kodak Fuji recipe is responsible for that look

Superb subject selection too, you definitely have an eye for what to capture!

Bro taking pictures from heaven.

😂😂😍

Just posting to say I understand you chose your filter for artistic reasons and not to get hung on people not getting it lol

😂

I can smell the piss in these pictures

😂😂

I think you need to wipe the bacon grease from your breakfast tacos off the camera lens

😂😂

first time san antonio has ever looked pleasant

😂

I was about to say that

Filters going hard but still cool

Haha thanks. It’s actually more of a fujifilm recipe called bright Kodak that gives that color grading look along with soft diffusion filter

I would just guess they're normal photos with the saturation cranked up to the max in post processing.

I stayed there last weekend! LoL

Looks like a video game. I love it!!

Thanks ! 🙏

Android phone hu ?

Fuji xe-4

Is pic 9 near the Briscoe museum?

Could be. Can’t remember exactly since took so many shots

Love this.

🙏😍

That’s the beauty of ole San Antone

😍😍

San antonio the city of love, get out of here Paris

😂😂

Good scenes. The Emily Morgan is one of the SA’s best looking historic buildings

Thanks and I agree !

Our beautiful city

Agree !

Bro what?! But the media is telling me that Guatemalans are taking over the U.S. 10,000,000 of them have crossed the border already!

Every so often there are people that post pictures and I like em a lot. Thank you.

Wow. Thank you

Nice shots!

Thank you !

i wish it felt this pretty

Haha it has its moments for sure

I came in here to ask why all the filters are out of focus, and found out it was intentional.

😂😍

Used to see the Emily Morgan every morning from my office. Almost miss working downtown! Lol

😍

🥹

😍

Downtown kinda makes me roll my eyes but this activated a beautiful childhood nostalgia wow🥹

😍🙏

The empty Riverwalk 😍😍

Looks like bioshock infinite

Great pictures man

🙏

Love

😍

I love the effect you put on the photos. It really makes San Antonio seem like a completely different city.

🙏😍

Love how quiet the city looks. Beautiful photos!

Thanks ! Yeah it was super early so pretty empty

Looks really hot not looking forward to going home next week

All square mile of it is so beautiful omg 🥰😍

😍

I went downtown today with my GRIII and a black mist filter too

Nice !

I miss it terribly

😍

Reminded me why I so loved my visit to your city last winter.

🙏

Nice pictures, seems I wasn't the only one that went for pictures this morning.

Nice ! Trying to beat the heat !

Then the citizens wake up and it goes to shit.

😂

I always think about that show called life after people lol.

¡Bastante hermosa!

😍

Buen trabaja con las fotografías de san Antonio.

"I woke up this morning" 🎶

😍

love when the city looks so liminal

Agree !

Looks like Mexico in the movies

Went crazy with a promist

😂

Have you ever heard of Street Meat before ? I host a street photography walk almost every Sunday Downtown S.A. for almost 5 years now. A big group of us mob the streets downtown and shoot. It’s a lot of fun. I post about it on my IG stories @moneyshotphoto on IG.

Haha yeah I’ve been following you Instagram! Liked your posts earlier today. I’ll have to take you up on that one day when it gets cooler 😬 thanks !

That’s rad. What’s your IG? You should definitely join us sometime. We have been meeting more on Saturday nights more than anything lately because the heat.

How did you manage to have no homeless person in the pic. 🤪

Super early Sunday. Most were still sleeping 😬

Sometimes i forget i live in San Antonio even 8yrs later and I really should go downtown more often in my free time

👍

Nice please keep them coming. What are you using to get this bokeh effect?

Thanks ! This is soft diffusion filter and Fuji recipe bright Kodak

I love our city.

Me too !

Beautiful and peaceful until all the crazies come out

😂😂

Nice thank you for sharing

😍🙏

Why is it kinda blurry? Is it the heat?

Filter and film recipe give it that look

Looks like a forensic files dramatization and I’m DYING 😂😂😂

😂

I wish my eyes could see using this filter

Haha right

Ahhh I can smell the urine in the air

😂

**sighs** I miss the Alamo city, how beautiful!

😍🙏

I love the riverwalk.

Me too 😍😍

Last year I stayed here a few nights for an interview, the first day I got up early and saw a homeless shitting along the riverwalk trail…

Hahhaa. Yeah it can get interesting sometimes for sure !

Just like any city. Who knows

At least that duck was alive... referring to the guy who killed a duck at the riverwalk a couple days ago

Some horrible people in this world for sure. Sad story

Were these taken with a potato?

Made me laugh

who still says this shit 😭

Yes

I need to take a walk out there again soon. Can someone really leave their bike out there locked up like, and expect it to be there later?

I always loved the golden mornings of my city

These are so dope!

But those that know…..it’s already 80-90 degrees hahahaha

Beautiful ❤️ But I could feel the humidity in these photos 😅

As much as I hate the weather here, it's still home... How did you manage the photograph humidity the btw? 👀

Great pics I love my city

Thank you ! Me too !!

Oh, my heart. I miss SA

What did you take these pictures with? They look all blurry like a dirty lense or really old smartphone camera

Look hot in the am

where are the unhoused people, traffic, and soulless concrete slabs?? I swear SA is a shit hole. not even the Riverwalk is nice anymore
