In my portfolio images I mostly focus on landscapes and cityscapes, but you’ll also see a some architecture and street photography sprinkled in here from time to time. For me, sunrises and sunsets are the most beautiful times of each day. I cherish any experience I get to sit on a cliff overlooking a sunrise, on a beach watching the sunset, or watching a city skyline light up at dusk. I limit my portfolio to what I consider to be my Top 20 images, but you can find many more in my store as well. Thanks, and I hope you enjoy browsing around these images!

Hidden Pfieffer Beach

Tucked away at the end of a mostly unpaved an bumpy one-lane road, Hidden Pfeiffer Beach is a real gem. Sunsets here will leave anyone in awe, with the sun-drenched rocks and crashing waves. If you are lucky enough to be there on the right days, there are times when the sun on the horizon peeks through the hole in the massive rock formations off-shore. The beach is not very big, and the parking lot only holds a certain number of cars so you may have to wait for access until someone leaves. Most people breeze right past the entrance, not realizing this small road can take them to such an amazing beach. This is what Big Sur is all about – discovering the little-known secret locations with unbelievable views.
