Finalist - "Photographer's Forum" magazine's "Best of College Photography 2011"

Earlier this week, I received a letter confirming that one of my photographs (Mono Lake) will be published in the Photographer's Forum Magazine hardcover book, "Best of College Photography 2011". This will be my 2nd published image. So yes, I am quite excited and honored to have made it this far. My entry is in the finalist selection group, and is in the running for higher honors (First through Fourth Place or Honorable Mention). I thank you all for your continued support of INFIN8 Photography!

The Crown Jewel of California's Coast - Point Lobos

If I were ever pressed to name a single location that has led me pursuing photography as a profession, it would be the Point Lobos State Reserve in California. Located just south of Carmel, this state park is often described as the crown jewel of California's coast. It has served as inspiration to numerous writers and artists such as Robert Louis Stevenson, Robinson Jeffers, Ansel Adams, and the Weston family.

I can spend hours just staring at the waves whenever I visit. Whenever I have friends and family visiting from out of town, Point Lobos always makes the list of must-see locations. So much of my childhood was spent at the park that I know my love of the ocean and sunsets was born here.

This past week, I had the pleasure of visiting twice. I was fortunate enough to witness a few spectacular sunsets. Here are a few images from my most recent shoots at Punta de los Lobos Marinos | Point of the Sea Wolves.
