From the people, to the food, to the atmosphere, Roxanna loves the fact that Astoria has so much variety, giving you everything you need in just one neighborhood.

While photography has been a hobby of hers since high school, having gone from relying on a digital camera to now digital platforms, the ease of having a camera phone coupled with this past year’s downtime is what led her here today.

After living in Astoria for 7.5 years, Roxanna finally discovered Ralph Demarco Park during quarantine, and it was love at first sight. The park itself brought her both beauty and comfort, not to mention two of her favorite things which were the inspo behind her photo: bridges and sunsets!
