California: The Endless Summer State

Residing in California for many years, I decided to reflect on my photographic journey and compile my work. Upon revisiting my work, I am astounded by the beauty of our world and the immense fortune we possess. Despite residing in a small city, I am within an hour’s drive of the coastal shore, a few minutes’ drive away, and I can embark on hiking trails in a serene and picturesque backcountry. Alternatively, I can immerse myself in the wine country, savoring the finest wines. Within a two-hour drive, I can reach San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge, and the city itself offers a captivating blend of architectural marvels, vibrant nightlife, and its own unique Fish Wharf area. The proximity of these destinations and photographic sites makes it unnecessary for me to venture far, as they are all within my immediate vicinity. This abundance of experiences and beauty is precisely what life should be.
