There’s a tremendous power in using the least amount of information to get a point across. -Rick Rubin

I couldn’t agree more. Instead of forcing a shot, follow the light and take advantage of what’s happening right in front of you. Mission Bay Park in San Diego, California. If you’d like to purchase “The Magic Tree’ go here

Scott Papek is releasing two Limited Edition prints, Tranquility #1 and Tranquility #2.  Both images were captured in Oregon on the Mission Gorge at the same location 15 minutes apart.  Not only do you get amazing sunsets this time of year, but throw in some haze from the wildfires and it becomes unpredictable and quite frankly, unbelievable.  I’ve never released two prints from the same scene but maybe with the twins on the way I’m used to buying everything double now.  Then again maybe my wife, Julie, and I couldn’t agree on one.  I hope you enjoy these as much as I do.  Mother Nature is queen and I thank her for creating beauty every minute of every day.

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.

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.

Docking at Dusk

Tomorrow from 10:00am to 3:00p at the Hot Shops Art Center we’ll be selling smaller prints from 8 x 12’s to 12 x 18’s. If you’ve been following me for a while you know this doesn’t happen very often.

“Docking at Dusk” was taken in 2009 in the Coronado Bay on a brilliant evening.
