You guys have seen the latest GI Joe fotos from me. Sometimes, I like to showcase WHERE I shoot. I've been taking shots from Squalicum Beach this past week. It's a typical Washington beach which means there isn't much in the way of sand, but rocks and debris. As a skater, I always looked for spots to skate at when walking and/or driving by. As a snowboarder, I always looked for natural kickers to hit. As a photographer, I always look for places too shoot.

Take a gander, ya? And yes, this is PHOTO HEAVY!!! Maybe as heavy as Big Momma!

It might be hard to see, but there's either a tunnel or pipe built into the hill. I want to shoot in there but I'm worried a homeless person might attack me.


A real concrete pipe that is more doable in terms of shooting, tho it'll be wet!

some great places for pics for sure

The logs, they come with the river when it rains more than the normal? About a homeless person, try to walk in with someone else with you. So just one will be hit, the other can run and tell the story for the grandchildrens .

You do have a good eye. Have you ever been dong macro photography exept for GI Joes?

For the Tunnel, look for signs of comings and goings, foot prints, disturbed dirt.... if its a regularly used spot, these should be appearent. Bring a bright flashlight (or two) and a couple candy bars for peace making in case you disturb a lightfooted indian...

I would assume its there but can't see it, be careful of poison oak. I have been tempted with a few places here in Santa Cruz in the parks but I get that pretty good, I watch for that itch causing plant every where I go...

You have some nice spots and privacy to not be disturbed while taking pictures. Can't wait to see what you come back with.
