Big Sur Balance, Becoming A Piece Of The California Coast
A recent trip to Big Sur with my wife had me thinking about how I am able to focus my attention to her but also accomplish some of my photography goals as well. Every man’s first concern is the well being of their better half, of course, right? I can usually figure out our activities…
