For this photo, Danielle and I were wandering the streets of San Luis Obispo, California, when we came upon Bubble Gum Alley. The walls of the alley, covered in the chewed gum of strangers, had an interesting texture, which made it an ideal setting for us. The colorful spherical balloons and bubblegum seemed to be a perfect juxtaposition with the dark geometric lines and rough texture of the alley.
