santa cruz

we went to this beach for dinner, and with my camera I couldn't get enough.  I loved all the colors of the umbrellas, houses, tiles, paintings, buildings, sun.  this is one instance where color is a significant part  of this series. I loved it here and I want to go back.

I miss these days

The days of dinosaur rainboots and tricycles.  endless backyard summer.  I like the way this composition worked out.  And I love the story it's telling.

can't a boy just wear some boots?

I know this is so typical of me.  But I'm staying at my cousins house, and they are what I've been shooting.  Haha Sam is the funniest baby I've ever known.  He just walks around on his own exploring and walking around not paying attention to anyone around him.  I think his expressions are hilarious in both of these, not to mention the rainboots. 

abandoned rose shop

The one day I was home from New York, and before I left for California, Chan and I went exploring.  We found this abandoned greenhouse that we thought would be a rose shop, and loved the outside until we decided to hop through the window. The inside was even greater.  There were the cooooolest things inside.  Using my handy dandy limited focus technique, I think a got a few shots I really like.  It's always interesting to shoot abandoned things, but I love how this place had green all around it.  It really made me wonder the story of this place, and I'm sure that I'll be back to shoot it soon.
