Cuyamaca


A picture from my latest and what I believe first real camping experience. A beautiful weekend with beautiful people. The only time I really remember some sort of camping is when I was maybe 11 or 12. It was in the garden behind my parents' house together with my friend Victor. Victor lived a few houses down the street. When I woke up next morning I realized he went home while I was sleeping. What a disappointment. Couldn't he at least pretend we are far away in the wilderness? Well, he was probably cold, and so was I last night up in the Cuyamaca State Park. This picture is dedicated to my childhood friend. R.I.P Victor.

Landscape photography. I must admit I'm a bit clueless about how to do this. If you ask me, appealing city images are much easier to take. You stabilize your camera and due to long time exposure the city lights look more intense than in real life. This often gives the image a little WOW-effect. Now out in the desert it's the other way around. I have the WOW when I'm out there enjoying the scenery, however, the pictures I take never look as impressive as what my eye sees. I'm bringing home tons of dull images these days. This one is one of the rare ones I liked. Thanks to the yellow flower.
