Today, I decided to go on a short photo walk with my camera phone through downtown Suffolk. For those who have never visited, Suffolk is a city with over 103,000 residents as of 2024. Now, to be honest, I don’t have the best feelings about Suffolk—it's really not my favorite place and I don't particularly like it at all. But then again, other cities I've traveled to have their own quirks and downsides, so I figured I might as well make the best of it and see what I could capture.
As I walked through the streets, I took a moment to notice the details that often get overlooked. The architecture, the local shops, and even the people all have their stories to tell. It's easy to overlook the charm while focusing on the negatives, but today I aimed to appreciate what was around me.
In conclusion, Even in a city I may not adore, there's always something to see and appreciate through the lens of a camera.
Below is a photo gallery showcasing what I saw during my walk. Enjoy!

Suffolk has a lot more growing to do. The city would benefit from the introduction of high-end retail options, including brands like Balenciaga, Gucci, and Louis Vuitton, alongside a greater number of clean dining establishments. Current health inspection findings indicate that many restaurants fall short of cleanliness standards. Additionally, fostering a more inclusive and diverse community is essential to combat existing racial biases and enhance the overall social fabric of the city.
