Perfect Strangers- Santa Cruz

A morning that started with crap surf and cloudy skies worked in my favor.

Surfer boys were coming out of the water in droves.

These are the three I stopped to chat with.

  

Traveling with a random light leak

Between weddings for Studio Starling (nice plug Lizz)

I took a trip, armed with my Hasselblad 

and it's as of yet undiscoverd light leak

My two sons

We set off across America 52 hrs from 

Chicago to San Francisco.

No land speed records were set.

More than just fleas at the market

Maybe he was a cowboy

This is work from my perfect strangers project. One frame, and I wasn't happy with the one frame. I was disappointed with myself. I was so excited and nervous when I shot this that I didn't take the time I should have it's dark. Not

what I had visualized.

 Now after some time, the portrait and I have made friends. It's not perfect but it's mine.

This was his land, I felt it told a story about him as well.

My Home is of the Sea

This isn't actually my home, but reminded me of the lake I lived on as a kid.
This lake can be found in Vermont.

How much

Is that doggie in your window?

Aces!

In an attempt to escape the snow, myself and a friend headed WEST and nott just any west.

To Palm Springs to be exact.

We stayed at the Ace Hotel and Swim Club

To say I was inspired by my stay could be an understatement.

Stay tuned there is more to come
