A trip to San Diego turned into quite a beautiful day for me and my (borrowed!) camera. I’m not usually turned on by black and white photography, but it felt appropriate for this set of photos.
Everyone on a beach is so laid back. It’s a wonderful place to smell the salty air and relax, of course. But it’s also such a friendly place to chat with a stranger. A couple of surfer dudes in a shop were proud to be my hand model.
