From a February 2011 shoot at Marin County’s Rodeo Beach. The light of sunset reflected off the post-storm waves churning along the coast. This image was selected for the 2011 Emeryville Art Exhibit held October 1 – 23 at 1480 64th St in Emeryville. Two other images from the same visit are available online in my Abstracts Gallery on Smugmug.com.

In January of 2008, Northern California was pounded by three days of heavy Pacific Storms.¬† When they cleared, I drove to Rodeo Beach in the headlands – mostly just to get out of the house and give my family a break from me.¬† Post-storm waves broke in every direction, providing shorebirds with plenty of opportunity to feed near them.¬† Nervous beach walkers kept an eye on the undulating ocean and the uncertain high water mark.¬† As soon as I set up my tripod on “safe” ground away from the waterline, four inches of water washed over my boots.

"Rodeo Beach Wave-9072"

i forgot about my wet socks a few beats later when a particularly heavy set crashed onshore on the southern end of the beach, and in two minutes I made several memorable images. ¬† This one which was selected by Nikki Wood and the team at Marin Magazine to grace their 2009 cover.
