My favorite thing to do is pick up my pack with all my gear, a bit of food and water and go wondering off on a trail, that's my happy place. Sometimes we all need to step out of that comfort zone and do something different and for me that's hopping on a plane and flying to a city I haven't photographed in decades. Transferring my back country experience to trying to find a vantage point in a city doesn't always work but I think it worked on this trip to San Diego and Los Angeles.
San Diego, like all big cities will have vista points from which to photograph from and my job is to find them and make the most of the view and the light that I get.
I had last photographed from this location nearly 20 years earlier and so I went back to a good old spot and hoped I could still access it and presto I made a few images.

Our ready-to-hang canvas prints are created using a specialty printer that carefully lays pigment inks down onto archival-quality fine art canvas material. The canvas is then stretched around a 1.5-inch-deep wood support structure to provide depth and elegance. Our canvas material has a delightfully matte finish that looks spectacular in any lighting conditions while retaining maximum vibrancy and contrast. Click here to learn more.
