Better Than a Postcard
People ask what I’m after out there. I’m looking for something better than a postcard.

Sunset light glowing on low clouds blowing through Kalalau Valley, with the green ridges of the Na Pali coast and a view down to the ocean.

I spent the day working the Big Sur coast and found a valley of calla lilies running down to the Pacific. High surf in the back, and the sun about to drop behind the ridge. I set the frame and waited. The valley was still. All you could hear was the surf.
