King Tides

Yesterday morning, Main Beach.
In addition to the high tides we had a big swell whipping up foam. Yesterday
near the San Lorenzo Rivermouth.
There were puddles everywhere. Alice, Olive and Ernest this morning at Seabright Beach.

Plein Again

All forty of the participants in the 2024 Capitola Plein Air Art Festival were painting 
in the Village this morning.
I went down to check out the scene and snap a few photos.
The painters were friendly, enjoyed talking about their work and open to being
photographed. And, it was a beautiful morning, adding to the fun!

Land Art Redux

A month ago I posted a couple of iPhone photos of the Pyramids at the
base of the Santa Cruz Wharf. I ended up photographing the scene a
number times with multiple cameras. This one was made when the project was finished with a Hasselblad 501CM and Kodak Tri-X120mm film.
This one was made with a LOMO camera and 120mm Kodak Gold 200.
The work was still in progress here.
Finally we have a classic Holga photo made with Tri-X 120mm film

The Pyramids

The Pyramids are a part of the MAH’s Common Ground- place inspired outdoor
artworks. Here two workmen shovel sand creating a pyramid.
The artwork is the idea and design of Jim and Brighton Denevan. Currently on display
at Cowell Beach.

Photo a Day

More from the archive. In 2008 I worked on a one year project. I posted a photo every
 day for a year. Looking back on the photos I made during that time I realized there
were many that were strong photos but didn’t make the edit for that day. It’s been
fun to look through those photos. Here are a couple from Main Beach. You can check
out the project if you click on Photo a Day at the bottom of the Tags list to the right.

Sunset soccer!

Joey

This is Joey a Jehovah’s Witness I met on Beach Street. He saw my
 film camera and started a conversation. He told me he had a
 background in digital photography and was just getting into using
 film. I asked him if we could do a quick portrait with his classic
 Minolta SRT101. Thanks Joey!
