Beach Scenes

When I want to get away I drive out to the beach and walk the sand looking for scenes that capture my mood at the moment. Most of my other work is in black and white because I love the drama of it, however, the colors in these beach scenes have a drama all their own that I enjoy capturing.

Pandemic I


Santa Monica, CA, 2020.


Santa Monica, CA, 2020. Taken in October of the first year of the COVID pandemic, first in a series of photos that for me express the feeling during this time of drifting listlessness and a fog of misunderstanding. I spent much of this time searching for human connection, always just out of reach.

Disco on the beach in Santa Monica at the height of the pandemic, 2021. There was music, but it was lost in the distance between us. 




Hazy - Pandemic III


Santa Monica, CA, 2020


Searching for connection, trapped in a fog of thought, with bright moments just within reach but still painfully elusive.

The colors in photos of sunsets in Santa Monica are never as beautiful as the real thing.
