ENTRY DESCRIPTION
This photograph was taken in 2015 when I was in San Diego for a conference. It displays the pier in La Jolla.
La Jolla Shores is a beach and popular vacation/residential community of the same name in La Jolla, San Diego, California. The quaint La Jolla Shores business district is a relaxed, mixed-use village encircling Laureate Park,on Avenida de la Playa in the village of La Jolla Shores.
The beach is approximately one mile long and stretches from the sea cliffs just north of La Jolla Cove to Black's Beach south of Torrey Pines State Park. Shores meets the Scripps Institution of Oceanography campus and Kellogg Park, encompasses the Scripps Pier and borders the San Diego-La Jolla Underwater Park Ecological Reserve to the south. The beach is a popular launch point for kayakers as it is the only beach boat launch in the San Diego city limits. The beach is also popular among stand up paddlers, swimmers and snorkelers. During certain times of year you can see leopard sharks, stingrays and other sealife.
Described by the Orange County Register as "the best beach in the area", La Jolla Shores regularly features in the TruTV show, Beach Patrol: San Diego and Lifeguard on The Weather Channel.
AUTHOR
I HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN PHOTOGRAPHY FOR AROUND 8 YEARS NOW. 2 YEARS AGO I DEVELOPED THE IDEA THAT ART EXTENDS THE POSSIBILITIES OF A CAMERA SOLEY AND ADDS A PERSONAL NOTE TO THE IMAGES TAKEN. INSPIRED BY JOEL TJINTJELAAR, ANNA GOSPODAROU, AARON NACE, AND TREY RATCLIFF I STARTED TEACHING MYSELF PHOTOSHOP. MY MAIN FOCUS LIES ON FINE ART BLACK & WHITE PHOTOGRAPHY AND PROCESSING.
PERCEPTION IS THE ORGANIZATION, IDENTIFICATION, AND INTERPRETATION OF SENSORY INFORMATION IN ORDER TO REPRESENT AND UNDERSTAND THE ENVIRONMENT.
CREATION IS THE ACT OF MAKING OR PRODUCING SOMETHING THAT DID NOT EXIST BEFORE.
ART IS SOMETHING THAT IS CREATED WITH IMAGINATION AND SKILL AND THAT IS BEAUTIFUL OR THAT EXPRESSES IMPORTANT IDEAS OR FEELINGS.
FINE ART, EVENTUALLY, IS A VISUAL ART CONSIDERED TO HAVE BEEN CREATED PRIMARILY FOR AESTHETIC AND INTELLECTUAL PURPOSES AND JUDGED FOR ITS BEAUTY AND MEANINGFULLNESS, SPECIFICALLY, PAINTING, SCULPTURE, DRAWING, WATERCOLOR, GRAPHICS, AND ARCHITECTURE.
