A little drive
I like to drive, it is kind of my escape and way of getting away from it all. I also love an efficient public transportation system without the need of a car. Living in New York was difficult for me because of the lack of room to roam, although there is lots of beauty outside the city, you would have to take a train or bus to go. That made it difficult to fly by the seat of your pants, and that is something that thrills me. Being back in California makes so much sense to me, however I am still trying to figure out where I want to base my career.
I decided to make a little drive up the state to visit some friends and enjoy a little taste of their local life. I stayed in Monterey, San Francisco/Oakland/Berkley and also stopped for a night in Santa Barbara. San Francisco is such a beautiful city, I love all the trees and the clean air. It is really a nice balance between NY and LA. Not sure if I want to live there, but this trip was exactly what I needed. Here is a little photo story of my journey. I need to develop my black and white film, so look for those later.
I love this classic friend shot of the amazing Cameron Bird
This is a new friend putting on a helmet too small, I like the balance between my flash and the ambient light in the background.
This is a nice little workspace, the attic of a cool house in Berkley
Good Bye San Francisco
Truck drivers must get bored, but who wouldn’t want to get their picture snapped?
I was actually excited to be returning to Southern California, but not Orange County…
More on this trip soon.
