Crystal Pier

This pier isn’t one of the largest, one of the most modern, or one of the most convenient piers in California, but it is one of the top piers in the state with San Diegans and tourist. Crystal Pier is a wooden pier, 872 feet long, located at the end of Garnet Ave in Pacific Beach.

I don’t promote my facebook page at all but with so many new ventures coming in the future I’m starting to use facebook.com/PapekPhotography as my visual diary.  I hope to see you in the facebook world. Scott

Loyal

This Image get’s me everytime! I’m such a sap when it comes to pets especially dogs. The Image was taken in Kauai in 2008 with my incredible wife, Julie. I wish you could have seen the rest of the story as the dog waited patiently for his master\dad to finish with his evening surf.

17 more sleeps till San Diego

I’m really excited to get back to my roots as a photographer. La Jolla, California is where I taught myself to photograph the beauty in this world.

Tetons Barn

Tetons

The goal was to capture this famous barn in the Tetons with a different perspective. The storm clouds along with the movement in the grass add the drama for me. The reason for this posting today was influenced by a blog post from a brilliant man, Seth Godin. Seth has helped me in so many ways even though he has no idea who I am. Here is his latest blog post.

Either, not both

Stand out or fit in. Not all the time, and never at the same time, but it’s always a choice.
Those that choose to fit in should expect to avoid criticism (and be ignored). Those that stand out should expect neither.

San Diego

“America’s Finest Evening” is one of my babies from my portfolio. This area in La Jolla is where I taught myself how to photograph. It’s being donated to a fantastic charity that offers support to grieving children and their caregivers. We like to work with charities, so keep us in mind if you’re ever looking for donations.

Bird Eye View

It seems like just yesterday Julie and I were enjoying a typical evening walk at the beach. Since I pretty much have the coolest wife ever who puts up with a geeky husband who drags a camera and tripod everywhere. This image was taken Ocean Beach, California 2009.

kauai gold

Missing the sun and ocean today. This Image was taken in Kauai, Hawaii to long ago. I can still feel the warm breeze and soft sand in my toes.
