JACKSONVILLE MAG | Backstory, Changing Perspective
Shooting photos looking down from the top of the Strand was on John Bourscheid’s bucket list, so to ring in his 30th borthday he climbed to the top of the high-rise. The apartment building is the second tallest residential building in Jacksonville, only being overtaken by its next-door neighbor The Peninsula. The two structures sit on the Southbank of the Riverwalk, with views of the St. Johns River and Downtown.
“There were a surprising number of people, myself included, who were not aware of the patterns that could be seen on the Riverwalk from above”, says Bourscheid. “It alludes a bit to a change of perspective leading to an improved point of view and appreciation for the world around.”
