"OUT WITH THE TIDE" - Newport Beach, CA

Shot in Newport Beach, this photo captures that perfect simplicity—sun, sea, and sky, all pulling back at once. It’s the kind of moment you don’t chase, you just notice. The birds crossed at the right time, the light faded evenly, and for a second, everything lined up. There’s something about shooting in black and white that makes you pay closer attention. And this one rewarded it.
