"WEST COAST BLOODLINE" - Newport Beach, CA

Taken during the devastating California wildfires, this image captures the eerie stillness of a moment shaped by chaos. Smoke from the fires hung heavy in the air, filtering the sun into a deep red orb—perfectly round, surreal, and haunting. The scene was silent. No breeze, no waves—just a glowing sky painted by destruction. It’s a reminder of how nature can be both breathtaking and brutal at the same time. A moment too beautiful to ignore, and too tragic to forget.
