He recently submitted a group of photos to #OverlookedLB that he took on his morning walks through Bixby Knolls, usually when it&#8217;s dark or the sun is just beginning to show itself. Here, he captures sleepy scenes on Atlantic Avenue, San Antonio Drive, Bixby Road and Long Beach Boulevard.<\/p>\n<p>His walks are part of his goal to exercise more as a participant of The Long Beach Losers, a competition put on by Belmont Shore community member Justin Rudd. Although Lopez said he&#8217;s &#8220;not always terribly excited to be up so early&#8221; he enjoys the streets when they&#8217;re empty and quiet.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I really enjoy playing with space in my photos,&#8221; Lopez said. &#8220;I love trying to create depth of field with my iPhone and find angles I&#8217;ve never seen before.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Instagram:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/thismeltingsnow\/\">@thismeltingsnow<\/a><br \/>\n<strong>Website:<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thismeltingsnow.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=http:\/\/www.thismeltingsnow.com&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1570897416711000&amp;usg=AFQjCNG6QeIcEW1xvq3GVoRXgtqkU-tUGw\">www.thismeltingsnow.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>To submit your own photography excursion to Overlooked LB, email\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:asia@lbpost.com\">asia@lbpost.com<\/a> 5\u201310 photos with captions, a photo of yourself, your name and general location, a 100- to 200-word description of your walk through town and any social media platforms you\u2019d like mentioned.<\/em><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10000006349\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10000006349\" style=\"width: 1300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10000006349\" src=\"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/hi-lo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/7.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1300\" height=\"1733\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10000006349\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by Jesse Lopez for Overlooked LB.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10000006345\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10000006345\" style=\"width: 1300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10000006345\" src=\"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/hi-lo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1300\" height=\"1733\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10000006345\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by Jesse Lopez for Overlooked LB.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10000006347\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10000006347\" style=\"width: 1300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10000006347\" src=\"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/hi-lo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1300\" height=\"1734\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10000006347\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by Jesse Lopez for Overlooked LB.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10000006350\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10000006350\" style=\"width: 1300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10000006350\" src=\"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/hi-lo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/8.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1300\" height=\"1733\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10000006350\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by Jesse Lopez for Overlooked LB.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10000006344\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10000006344\" style=\"width: 1300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10000006344\" src=\"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/hi-lo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1300\" height=\"1733\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10000006344\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by Jesse Lopez for Overlooked LB.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10000006348\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10000006348\" style=\"width: 1300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10000006348\" src=\"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/hi-lo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/6.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1300\" height=\"1733\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10000006348\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by Jesse Lopez for Overlooked LB.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10000006343\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10000006343\" style=\"width: 1300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10000006343\" src=\"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/hi-lo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1300\" height=\"1733\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10000006343\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by Jesse Lopez for Overlooked LB.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>And here&#8217;s the man about town himself.
