I am a photographer living in Northern California.

My family lives on the Peninsula south of San Francisco. Our Santa Cruz mountain community (which overlooks the Silicon Valley to the east and the Pacific Ocean to the west) is not only one of the most beautiful landscapes in our country, it is a mecca for artists of all types. Musicians, photographers, woodworking artisans and glass artisans abound. It would be impossible to live here and not try to participate!
