Davenport Pier 3 - www.grantmurrayphotography.com/

 

I am working my way through the images I created in California back in August this year. I injured my shoulder, slipping on some rocks when I was there and it is only now coming right...fun times.

 

There are a small handful of folks in this world that I categorize as kindred spirits and lifelong friends, with boundless amounts of kindness and patience. Steve Landeros (maxxsmart on Flickr) and Nathan Wirth (nlwirth on Flickr) are two such incredibly talented individuals. They were such amazing hosts and gave up a loooot of their personal time to hang out with me and drive me all around California. I get to know them better every time I'm out there and our friendship deepens with each visit. Words cannot express my gratitude for your kindness, friendship and artistic inspiration, Steve and Nathan, I feel truly blessed!!

 

This image was created in Davenport. Steve kindly chauffeured us around all day and we arrived at this spot, which had great potential. The sun was high in the sky and created more dramatic contrasts, which as you well know, I'm a huge fan of :-)
