Phil:  Both of these images are long exposure photos taken at Sea Ranch as part of my ongoing project photographing the surf on the coast.  I belong to a PPA affiliate in the wine country and have enjoyed their style of image competition, and so decided, somewhat nervously, to enter a few images in the national group’s annual competition.

 

PPA was formed officially in 1868.  Its mission is to create a vibrant community of successful professional photographers by providing education, resources and industry standards of excellence.
