Son of a Beach

As a native Southern Californian it's obligatory that I have at least four-gagillion pictures of the ocean. It's like your first child, where every picture is exactly the same, yet you still think it's beautiful. However, every once in a while you capture something unique or unusual -a little spark of life that keeps you coming back and snapping shots like there's no tomorrow. Here are some of the more interesting ones. I'll try not to be like that friend and show you too many...
