While riding in a hot air balloon for the first time in life, Chang, with his D90 camera, captured the piece “Sunsetz.jpg.” The photo shows a beautiful sky with gradient hues dotted with hot air balloons suspended above the city. In this image is also the ancient, imposing Pyramid of the Sun that was built more than a millennia ago. Chang not only sought to encapsulate the natural beauty of the region in a single image, but to inspire appreciation for our earth and humanity as a whole. In highlighting an impressive architectural feat of the Aztecs, Chang aspires that his photography resonates with everyone and kindles a timeless love for the wonders of humankind and achievement.
