S. California, 1996-present

Since 1996 I’ve lived in Southern California (mostly in Ojai, which has an entire set of its own). It’s an amazingly varied landscape with a wonderful light: the sea, the desert, the mountains and streams, the agriculture; gardens, wildflowers, cactus, and chapparal. These are some of the sights and colors of the area.
