After returning from Europe, I was looking  to capture the local art scene in my neighborhood. Thank to #yelp for the #elite invite, I got to meet the local #pedicab at San Pedro Square market who very kindly took me around on a SJDA Mural Tour in San Jose downtown. I had no idea, the beautification of San jose downtown has been happening for quite sometime now. It started with over 100 artists who took charge of painting their creativity on a 3x3 mural in an alleyway off First Street. The 100BlockSJ project is the move in the right direction for locals in feeling safe and joyous.

You have to walk around to admire fascinating murals created within a few miles radius of San Pedro Square market.  Being a local engagement and wedding photographer in San Jose, I had to return and explore the spots and hand pick top selects for my future clients looking to get something different from their photo shoot.
