Having grown up and spent most of my life in Southern California, I have developed a fondness for the ocean. With my passion for photography growing immensely over the last four years, I was determined to walk away with a single photo that captured the beauty of my home in Orange County. This hidden little cove has shaped some of my fondest memories; I've led my closest friends through the little sea cave, I've laid a blanket next to rocks while enjoying sound of the tide, and I've swam out to the arch rock and cliff jumped into the ocean (with one such excursion leaving a scar on my foot). I had to create a unique photo here. After returning many more times with this cave composition in mind, the lighting and tide conditions finally lined up and I walked away with this permanent memory (2015).
Stumbled across this little gem the other weekend during a midday hike in Sequoia NP.
Foggy beaches, forests, and wildlife. Three of the many things that make the Oregon Coast feel like home. These trees were home to many Golden and Bald Eagles that we spotted on this morning - this guy was just the most photogenic. Taken in 2018 in the company of close friends. Traveling alone sometimes yields the best photographic results for me, but traveling with friends leads to the best stories.
