The salty smell of air, the spectacular sunrises and sunsets and the grittiness of fishermen determined to make a life on one of the roughest areas of the Pacific Ocean...that's what made me buy a camera.
I live aboard my sailboat, the Belle France, occasionally waking early in the morning to capture the views around our marina. It's a working marina. More commercial fishing boats than boats for pleasure.
Exiting and entering Humboldt Bay is the most dangerous bar to cross in California and yet here it's done all the time.
Fear, tension and an intense ability to live in the moment creates an unusual beauty that can go from the most serene to an absolutely dramatic sunrise or sunset.
Sometimes those moments are short lived and that's why I try to capture them in my photography.
