Happy Couple

I took this shot on Father’s Day on the San Clemente Pier. I don’t know this people or why they were so happy. It could have just been they’re in love, or did he get a special gift? Maybe he found out that he was going to be a dad? Whatever it was, I couldn’t [...]

Elements of Design – Failure

Once again I failed in sticking with a challenge for more than a couple days.

I will take (hopefully) interesting photos around the beautiful UC Irvine campus. My goal is at least one per day for the month of september. Therefore, [...]
