Photographed on the day of the 2008 Mavericks Surf competition, but a few mile further south along the California coast, this was a day of huge winter surf.

I was already set up to shoot photographs of the Golden Gate (in this wonderful, luminous, hazy morning light) when I spotted this flock of seabirds flying across the Bay.

I photographed this minimalist seascape along the Pacific Ocean coastline south of San Francisco, California during the summer of 2006. One goal was to convey a sense of the space and distance in this scene, and the inclusion of the very small images of the gulls in the foreground was part of this. (You can find related images in my Gallery, particularly in the California Coast and Natural World sections.)

Many related photographs may be found in the landscape (see the California Coast section) and wildlife sections of my photography gallery.
