Warm Winter at Garrapata Beach
by admin
When I was in my junior year of college, I had to pick a location where I wanted to work and live following my graduation. I wasn’t going back to Moscow where I grew up, as I decided to stay in the States for a while. I did not want to live where winters are cold either after couple of decades of Russian winters and few more in Utah. But growing up, I was always fascinated with seas and oceans. There is something about the mystery of it and the scale of things that always drew me to it. No wonder I ended up here in Northern California because winters here are now my favorite time of the year.
It’s no wonder that the ocean is now one of my favorite subjects to photograph. I think it’s important that we photograph what we love, otherwise why even bother spending time and money on photography?
