At the end of each year, I go through the past images to review, condense, and go over what I have in my files. I try to gather a collection of those images that best interpret my year. Due to unforeseen weather patterns, beach access to certain areas was different than expected, as was my

For the past few weeks, I’ve been watching the progress as the Curtin barge and crew have made progress towards cleaning up and capping the Treadwell and Northstar oil wells on the coast near Summerland. Although I’m not typically a person who watches ship activity, this was different. It gave me such a respect for
