I am retired and come from Silicon Valley in Northern CA.. I relocated to Southern CA in Oceanside, which is about 35 minutes north of San Diego. Since moving here I have re-discovered the love of photography. I live close to the beach, the San Diego Zoo as well as the San Diego Safari Park. Also there are several whale and dolphin watching tours I can enjoy. I think I love shooting the surfers the most as they are very talented. But whatever finds my viewfinder, I know it will be exciting!
