2023 Bombay Beach
Just returned from a week in Bombay Beach at the Salton Sea, where I sought a break from work and focused on my photo catalog spanning over 10 years. Initially, I had no intention to take new photos, but the beautiful art pieces on the beach and the graffiti-covered trailers captivated me. They inspired a renewed sense of purpose and rekindled my passion for photography. Bombay Beach became a transformative space for reflection and creative revival, reminding me that beauty and artistry can emerge even amidst the broken and forgotten.

2016 Salton Sea
During my recent trip to the Salton Sea, I was captivated by its tranquil beauty and unique charm. The clear blue waters reflecting the vast desert sky created a serene atmosphere, providing a much-needed escape from the busy world.
As I explored the area, I was delighted by the diverse wildlife that called the Salton Sea home. Migratory birds gracefully soared through the air, while various species gathered along the shoreline, creating a vibrant and lively scene. It was a paradise for nature lovers, offering ample opportunities to observe and photograph the fascinating wildlife.
The Salton Sea’s intriguing history intrigued me. Initially an accidental creation, it had transformed into a popular resort destination in the past. Despite remnants of that era and the presence of abandoned structures, the changing water levels and peaceful surroundings added an air of mystery and curiosity to the experience. It was a place that sparked my imagination and made me wonder about the stories hidden beneath the surface of the sea.

Eddie DTSA Lifestyle Session
I recently had a great time photographing my friend Eddie during a portrait session in Downtown Santa Ana. The city’s lively streets and colorful murals provided a vibrant and exciting backdrop for our photos.
As we walked around, we discovered many cool spots for our shoot. The murals on the walls added an artistic touch to the portraits, perfectly reflecting Eddie’s vibrant personality.
Downtown Santa Ana’s unique architecture and textures added depth to our photos. From gritty alleys to stylish storefronts, we found diverse settings that captured Eddie’s individual style and essence. The energy of the city inspired us and resulted in a series of captivating portraits that showcased both Eddie’s personality and the dynamic downtown scene.
It was a memorable experience, exploring the lively streets together and creating lasting memories through our photographs. Shooting in Downtown Santa Ana was a blend of urban charm, artistic expression, and the joy of capturing moments with a dear friend.
Garcia Family Portraits
My friend came by for some family portraits of her kids. All 7 of them! The kids were a blast and I was surprised I was able to fit all of them in frame at my Spurgeon Studio in Santa Ana, Ca. I’m really pleased with how the portraits came out and loved experiencing all their different personalities. It’s hard getting getting all of them to look at the camera and smile.
