The subject in my work; is the location. Usually the viewpoint will feature the ocean, or water, usually noting the sky and the weather.

I choose locations that I have come to feel are important somehow.

I think a lot about the environment in that spot, it's inherent qualities, it's history, it's name and what it's like to be there a while.

Ucluth Beach is amazing spot, a protected beach deep in the heart of Yuułuʔiłʔatḥ territory.

I'm fascinated with the subtleties in the coastline there. It's a micro climate within another and has it's own weather. It's protected behind reefs, an islet and a sandbar. Often out of the wind with a lil beam of sunshine brightening it's shore. It's magical.

It's a place I look forward to seeing each time I visit.
