Seaview, Washington – Part 2

Saturday July 16th the Port of Ilwaco will host our second “Art Night at the Marina”. The Wade Gallery will feature the 2nd installment of my Seaview collection. Last month’s show was really well received and lots of folks were excited to see the homes that make up their neighborhood. We will have over 30 images on display for this month’s show. Let us know what you think.

Seaview – Part 1

On Saturday June 18th we will have our first “Art Night at the Marina” in Ilwaco. The Wade Gallery will show Part 1 of my Seaview collection.
The light is different up here. For are large portions of the year the sun hangs low in the sky creating a warm directional light source. At other times, it’s overcast making a soft diffused light. Either way, I’ve been in love with Seaview, Wa. for 23 years now. During that time I’ve amassed lots of images that have amused and intriqued me, or I just felt depicted how I think Seaview feels.

My Studious Grandsons

On the way through the Bay Area I thought it would be nice to get a few shots of my Grandsons. Shots that will remind me of just how serious, studious and mature these lovely young men really are.

Yes, we are. We’ve been hitting the road together for a long time now. Things have changed over time. Between Wendi, Emma and myself, we seem to have reached a phase in our lives where the pace of the trip is dictated by the availability of rest areas. On the positive side, if there is one, it’s probably nature’s way of saying “slow down and stop jiggling“. Even with all the rest stops I can’t imagine traveling without them.

Sometimes it seems like all I show are a lot of buildings and dogs. But, truth be told, it takes a lot of loved ones to make a good time.

Boat Houses In Encinitas

Boat Houses
The S.S. Encinitas and S.S Moon Light are neither boathouses, or houseboats; they are houses built in the shape of boats, moored on Third St. between F and G in Encintas, CA, The blue Pacific can be heard but not seen. The closest they come to water is when it rains.
They were built by Miles Minor Kellogg, undoubtedly one of Encinitas’ most noted recyclers. His ultimate recycling triumph was the boathouses. They were completed in 1928 with wood from the bathhouse at Moonlight beach and the help of his young son, Miles Justin Kellogg, who pitched in every day after school. Back then the boat houses could be seen from Highway 101 and people passing through town began to turn west for a better look at the structures. Down through the years the boathouses probably have been the most photographed buildings in Encintas and are a unique symbol of the surfing, beach, and Hwy 101 culture.

No, its not an island. This amazing beach house is situated at the very northern tip of the Del Mar beach and has been featured in numerous movies over the years.

We’re spending most of our time hanging out in North County. Amid the big hotels, super spendy condos and gigantic beach houses there is still a little funk.

Sure it looks a little scary, but they have very cold Negra Modello on draft. That can’t be bad

The La Paloma is a great little movie theatre from the 20’s. There is a reference to the name “La Paloma” is one of America’s most important classic movies. Does anyone know what that is?

Our month in Southern California has begun.
Wendi & I are very familiar with the area.
In the early 80’s we explored coastal towns from Chula Vista to Oceanside
and were captivated by the laid back surfer hippie feel.
Well, those days are gone!
You could write a thesis on the sociological significance of the economic and cultural shift that has transformed Southern California in the last 30 years.
So, let’s just not go there.
Instead let’s listen close and see if we can still hear some Beach Music.
