Homebound

2020 is the year of patience and adjustments.  The pandemic has forced us all online. Like Google, Zoom has become a verb.  Work from home and remote learning are the new norms.  My hat’s off to all those with grade school children.  I can’t imagine taking on the teacher role on top of everything else.  My boys are both college aged. They are completely self sufficient when it comes to school and work.

Below are a few images of how we’ve worked and schooled from home.

 Homebound is a collection of photos created during the California lockdown at home with my tribe - All images quarantine approved.

Your Moment of Visual Zen

2020 has been a crazy year, full of uncertainty and chaos.  We’ve all found moments where we can.  I’ve relied on photography and travel to calm my senses.  Both were difficult during the lockdown, but even during those moments I shot and traveled. Of course the travel was limited to about a couple square miles around my house and studio in San Diego.  So when I was able to travel more broadly we hit the road to one of our favorite spots, the Northern California coast.  It’s become our new go to spot. A once a year trek to continue our exploration.  This year we hit the Lost Coast Trail up around Shelter Cove.  It’s pretty remote, but accessible by car.  

Photographically I wasn’t feeling the landscape photography I usually shoot on these road trips.  Exploring the beaches I was seeing things smaller and more intimate - more abstract and symbolic.  I was intrigued by the water, the shapes, the erosion and textures, and the plants and creatures seemingly living everywhere.  There was beauty and tranquility everywhere I looked.  

Given what we’ve gone through in 2020 and what surely will be a chaotic several weeks, if not months, I present to you several moments of visual zen.  I hope they bring you the joy and peace I felt while discovering and creating them.
