Crystal Cove (Single)
DESCRIPTION
Usually, I'm immediately aware when I get a great shot or not. That night I left the beach frustrated, thinking I left empty handed. It was Christmas day and I was disappointed I wasted time with my family to try to get some shots at a crowded beach on an empty stomach. My obsession getting the best of me once again. Looking back I realize I captured one of my favorite shots. The contrasting warm and cool colors in unison with the contrasting smooth and rough textures, reminds me that perspective is a hell of a drug.
