Motivation

Ansel Easton Adams is one of those photographers that acts like a silent motivator for me. I can view his work anytime online and try to understand how he viewed the world. His use of dramatic contrast in wide open landscapes across the West has given the world a glimpse of the beauty that we cherish. I decided to take a few shots on Baker Beach in San Francisco that mimic what I feel is a style that is close to Ansel's.

I also wanted to give a shout out to my friend and mentor, Jason Lee, whose patience and skills is worth his weight in gold. Check out his amazing photos here and here. Thank you, Jason!
