Sunset Cliffs

Last night, my friend Kevin hit me up spontaneously to see if I’d want to go photograph the sunset in Ocean Beach. My initial thoughts were…I’ve got to get cleaned up, I need to pull out the photography equipment, where will I park…and then I said f%^k it and told him “yes.” That he offered to drive was a huge bonus. We went to Sunset Cliffs, lucked out on parking, and just caught the sun as it was sinking below the horizon.



Kevin at work:



With the telephoto lens:



…and the wide-angle:



Just plain old normal lens (albeit without auto-focus anymore!):



We were both pretty happy that we made the time to catch one of nature’s most amazing wonders, and a beautiful reminder of why we Californians pay out the wazoo to live here.



Back in the day (aka the 1980s/90s), pretty much every day I was in San Diego I was at the beach AND in the water. I still have my boogie boards, but they just don’t get any use.



Ah, Spring Break 1986:



Afterwards it was time to eat. The Hob Nob was an easy decision.



Kevin shoots beautiful photos; he poses for dorky ones.



The meatloaf dinner hit the spot (in the right way):



And so did dessert:



The moral of the story: instead of overthinking and being a bundle of negativity, STFU and just do it. You’ll be glad that you did. I know I was.
