Photography Destination #7 - California

I love photographing in California. It pretty much has everything to get great images. From the "Rock Star" hotels of Sunset Boulevard, to majestic surf beaches such as Malibu and Carlsbad, to edgy downtown LA areas like Compton and vibrant Venice Beach. Whatever image style you are trying to capture, California has it all. The light is also fantastic for photography. I guess that's why Hollywood chose the area to make so many movies over the years. Here is a small selection of some of my images that I think capture the feel and spirit of California.

"Just Chillin' " - Santa Monica.

"Golden Hour" - Carlsbad
