John, John, John Of Laguna, Watch Out For That Wave!

This looks like a nice sequence. Let us get up on the rock and photograph the wave crashing on the beach.

Laguna BeachIt's breaking nicely.

Laguna BeachOh boy right up on the rocks. Great!

Laguna BeachDid I say great? Here's what the next photo in the sequence looks like from a distance.

Laguna BeachAnd here's what I saw.

Two Many Photographers

Went to Diver's Cover to get a few late evening photos of the cliff that divides Diver's Cove from Picnic Beach. I didn't need a gaggle of photographers in the pictures. See what happens when you have plently of parking!

Artists Have All The Fun

Laguna Beach: From Above Diver's CoveArtists can remove, delete, modify whatever there is about a scene that they find distracting while we photographers have no choice but to capture what's in the viewfinder. . . . Photoshop anyone?

Small Crowds At Main Beach

Laguna BeachMaybe having a parking problem is a good thing. For those who demand more parking downtown be careful what you wish for.

Heisler Park Will Rival The Montage Grounds

Laguna BeachOnly kidding folks! In reality the park, when completed, will rival the grounds of the Montage Hotel. The new restrooms, both new and improved access to the beach and improved picnic grounds will look just as good as any park in the world. The city is hoping for a June completion. The only major construction to be completed is the new walk-way to Rockpile beach. What with the rains and mud this year we will be fortunate for a June re-opening.
