We all have our favorite places to go - mine just center around photography. Nearby, it's definitely Laguna Beach and the magnificent coastline. Nearby runner-up is La Jolla and the equally impressive jagged coast there.
Laguna has been the subject of many of my most popular images including the Abstract of Nature series.
Funny thing, when you start to really know your subject, the new perspective of your familiarity shows up in one's photographs.
A little further drive includes the Santa Ana mountains and the other ranges that line the LA basin.
A good day's drive can get me to the high Sierras, the Colorado plateau and the Arizona strip regions, or the Big Sur coast.
