You referring the that well known cove in La Jolla? I'll be flying there to shoot a wedding in late September. If you don't mind the traffic, congestion, etc, It's a wonderful area. I grew up there. I wouldn't want to live there now, but southern California can be a photographers paradise. You're just so close to amazing mountains, beaches, deserts, etc. It was so convenient to be able do make a short drive to Death Valley, Bodie, Yosemite, Joshua Tree, etc. Sounds like you had a great time in Death Valley. It's a nice place to shoot. Kiron Kid "A photograph that mirrors reality, cannot compare to one that reflects the spirit" **************Get fantasy football with free live scoring.
