This series captures my experience at the Taste of Cincinnati, blending the energy of the festival with the architecture and atmosphere of downtown. As someone visiting Cincinnati for the first time, I was drawn not only to the food and crowds but also to the city itself—the textures of the buildings, the movement of people, and the character of the streets. These photos reflect both my curiosity as an outsider and my appreciation for the way culture and place come together in the heart of the city.
