Carlsbad Flower Fields

If you haven’t visited The Flower Fields at Carlsbad Ranch, you are in for a treat of 50 acres of extraordinary color. The fields are currently in bloom on a hillside overlooking the Pacific Ocean and is a certainly a sight to behold.

The Salton Sea

What is there to say about the Salton Sea, Bombay Beach, East Jesus and Salvation Mountain? No matter where you turn there is something odd and eerie.
Take a look for yourself. Just maybe we’ll run into each other on the next trip out there. You won’t want to miss this place.

Motor Transport Museum

I recently headed off to a group photographer meet-up at the Motor Transport Museum in Campo, not too far from San Diego. The outing was an adventure back in time. So much fun, can’t wait to go again!

I’m always looking for a new place to shoot July 4th fireworks. This photo was taken from a friend’s balcony in the Bankers Hill neighborhood of San Diego.

U.S. Sand Sculpting Challenge

Members of the “Archisand” team, from Laguana Hills, compete in the Cool California Carvers Class (9 teams of 3 professionals each carving for 2 days), are busy early on Sunday morning carving away on San Diego’s B street Pier. The U.S. Sand Sculpting Challenge organizers brought in some 300 tons of sand to the ‘B’ Street cruise ship terminal pier.

In another class, World Master Sand Sculptors have come from Italy, Ireland, the Netherlands and Canada, and elsewhere to challenge the best in the U.S. Eleven master sculptors carved for 4 days and created beautiful three-dimensional art, some of which weighed in at over 10 tons.

Big Bay Boom! July 4th Fireworks

I am a big fan of fireworks!

Generally, I just like to observe from my neighborhood and not deal with the traffic, but this year I scoped out a cool spot and photographed San Diego’s Big Bay Boom. And it was awesome!

Belmont Park

I was recently out and about at Belmont Park in the Mission Beach area of San Diego where I noticed there have been a lot of changes and upgrades. These photos were the centerpiece for a business story highlighting the new developments at the park, the most notable of which are the debut of the upper level restaurant, Cannonball and a glass elevator that took months and months to complete.
