Digital BW, The Print

Jerry:

I've ridden my bicycle from San Fran down to Santa Barbara twice. Been
down the N CA and Oregon coast by bicycle as well. Just love Point
Lobos, Big Sur, those little farming towns, and eclectic beach
communities. Much more interesting than central FL. It's that
someplace new. But, I knew so many of the photos I took were already
on a postcard in the next little store I came to. I probably would be
just as enthralled by North Dakota. I spent a weekend in West Palm
Beach, where Clayton lives, and found it incredibly full of photo ops.
And I lived on a FL beach for 14 years. But, I bet Clayton finds other
places more interesting. 

I love street shooting. There's always a new face and personality out
there every day. I don't photograph strangers, just short term friends
I met only seconds ago.
