Urban Mirror was captured in Austin while walking back to the hotel at the end of the day. Passing beneath the bridge, the scene revealed itself briefly—the structure framing the skyline, the water holding the reflection, and the light settling into balance.
The moment was fleeting. With limited space left on the camera, decisions had to be made quickly to preserve the frame before the light shifted. As the scene came together, a passerby stopped to ask about the photograph, adding a quiet tension to an already narrowing window of opportunity.
This image is about awareness and restraint—recognizing a composition as it appears, acting before it disappears, and trusting instinct over preparation. The result is a study in structure and stillness, where the city reflects back on itself in a moment that almost passed unseen.
